Gardai have reportedly raided the home of former government Minister, Ray Burke, as part of investigations into the interim Flood Tribunal report.

The Garda Bureau of Fraud and the Criminal Assets Bureau carried out at least five searches in the greater Dublin area as part of inquiries into allegations of corruption.

It is understood the raids, which began yesterday morning, included Ray Burke's home at Griffith Downs in Whitehall.

At least four business premises were also searched, including a solicitor's office and an accountancy firm.

A large amount of documentation was seized and taken for examination.
