John Deasy

Ceist:

380 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of cases which have been taken to date in relation to individuals who are involved in insider dealing on the Irish Stock Exchange; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14312/03]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 379 and 380 together.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that one person has been charged with the offence of unlawful dealings in securities by insiders under section 108 of the Companies Act, 1990. I am further informed that the person involved was found not guilty of this offence.
