Revenue face interesting time, says Ahern

TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern last night said the Revenue Commissioners faced "an interesting time" in the coming months pursuing tax bills arising from Ansbacher.

He also said he was confident successful prosecutions could be conducted.

Mr Ahern said the report showed that taxation and control systems in the past had been far too lax. He said the decision to compile and publish the mammoth report into the dubious offshore banking scheme was justified.
