PAC to consider tax response

The Public Accounts Committee will today consider whether it can ask a number of investigating agencies about what actions they took regarding a whistleblower’s allegations that former politicians were involved in tax evasion.

The whistleblower is to meet Jobs Minister Richard Bruton after his statement was forwarded to gardaí following a two-year delay.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny yesterday told the Dáil that whistleblower Gerard Ryan would be protected.
