Public Accounts Committee Refers Dossier on Tax Evasion to Gardai - Costello

12 November 2014

by Cllr Joe Costello

At its meeting today, the Public Accounts Committee decided to refer the Dossier on Tax Evasion that had been received from the Authorised Officer in the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation to the Gardai under Section 19 of the Protected Disclosures Act 2014.

Furthermore, it agreed to write to Minister Richard Bruton to request him to send the dossier to the Revenue Commissioners. 

Finally, it was agreed to ask the Comptroller and Auditor General to provide a report on tax collection to update the previous C&AG Report, which can then allow for the allegations of tax evasion in the dossier to be raised within the remit of the PAC.
