Revenue remain tight-lipped on Moriarty recommendations

THE Revenue Commissioners are remaining tight-lipped about their views on a recommendation by the Moriarty Tribunal for the introduction of legislation to restrict the level of contact between politicians and tax officials.

A spokesperson for Revenue yesterday declined to comment on the proposal by the chairman of the tribunal, Mr Justice Michael Moriarty.

The chairman has indicated he intends to make a specific recommendation on the measure in his final report which is due to be published next year.
