Revenue officials are currently working on cases involving over 800 bogus non-resident account holders, who did not avail of the voluntary disclosure scheme last year.
The Minister for Finance, Mr McCreevy said eight court orders have been granted, requiring 11 financial institutions to hand over details of particular deposit accounts.
He told Labour's Finance spokesman, Mr Derek McDowell that another application was pending and more applications would be made to the High Court shortly. Mr McCreevy said the information would be released on a phased basis and warned that individuals who took advantage of the 1993 amnesty but did not declare or "amnestise" a bogus account, "will not get off the hook".
Mr McCreevy accused the Fine Gael finance spokesman, Mr Jim Mitchell of "casting a slur" on the current and previous governors of the Central Bank, by suggesting that there was an "incestuous relationship" between the three financial organs of State: the Central Bank, Revenue Commissioners and Department of Finance.
He said it was the "old pals act" where senior Department people were promoted to the Central Bank governorship. "It is not good enough", he said.
