Minister for Finance

The Special Liquidators have an ongoing obligation to protect customer information and other information of IBRC and to prevent its unauthorised dissemination or use. I am informed that the Special Liquidators are following a definite line of inquiry concerning the removal of documents and the leaking of information about a specific customer account from IBRC. The Special Liquidators have sought and received advice to the effect that they should conclude their current internal inquiries before initiating any further action. Such further action may include informing the appropriate authorities, including the Gardaí. I am informed that the Special Liquidators are not aware of any further incidents.
