Irish Nationwide investigation report

Summary

Deputy Doherty asks the Government to publish the 2009 Ernst & Young report on Irish Nationwide; the Taoiseach says he does not know its status and suggests submitting a parliamentary question.

On election topics, the Taoiseach spoke about transparency and not hiding any truths from the people, regardless of how difficult were those truths. In that context, when will the Government lay before the Houses the report from Ernst & Young that was commissioned in 2009 into the actions of Irish Nationwide and how that financial institution was being run? Four years have elapsed since that report was prepared and the public is being kept in the dark in respect of the activities of Mr. Fingleton and others. Will the Taoiseach commit to having this report published? Will the report be available to the committee that will investigate the bank guarantee and the issues surrounding it?

The answer to the Deputy's question is I do not know. This goes back to 2009, which is two years before the present Administration took office. I suggest that were the Deputy to table a parliamentary question, the Government would attempt to answer it as accurately as it can.
