Ansbacher names released

The long awaited Ansbacher report has been released.

The High Court has identified 190 clients that operated secretly in Ireland in the 1980s.

The report describes the activities as little more than a sham, a charade and a legal fiction.

When the publication's office opened this morning, there was a queue of about 50 people waiting to get copies of the inspector's findings.

Members of the public have thanked the Tanaiste for her contribution towards the inspection of the Ansbacher bank.

Mrs Harney has described the release of the report as "a damning insight into a world of conspiracy, fraud and tax evasion over a long number of years".
