Two former ministers have denied allegations that they held offshore accounts in Ansbacher Bank.

The statements from Maire Geoghegan-Quinn and Des O'Malley come after they were named in the Dáil as featuring in a dossier of alleged tax evasion.

Earlier today, Mary Lou McDonald named several prominent former TDs, including several ministers, during Leaders' Questions this lunchtime.

Enda Kenny said the allegations - raised in a dossier given to TDs by a civil servant whistlebloewr - were now now in the hands of the Gardaí.
