PAC to quiz Revenue on Ansbacher

The Office of the Revenue Commissioner will be brought before the Public Accounts Committee within weeks to discuss whether it was allowed to properly examine the Ansbacher scandal.

However, the Dáil’s spending watchdog will be blocked from asking any questions about specific politicians during the meeting, with inquiries confined to the structures Revenue was asked to work within.

Members of the PAC agreed to the move during a two-hour private meeting yesterday in a response to recent revelations over the major financial scandal.
