The May edition of Revenue Group Journal, the in-house magazine of the Public Service Executive Union at the Revenue Commissioners, carries an interview with Charlie McCreevy. The Minister for Finance is in fine form, praising the "revitalised Revenue" and describing the agency as "one of the most effective and efficient Government bodies".

"Janey Mack, it's quite amazing the changes that have taken place since I was an apprentice accountant," he says.

No doubt so as not to demoralise the troops, he doesn't discuss the efficiency and effectiveness of the Revenue and a - The Ansbacher accounts, b - The National Irish Bank offshore scheme and c - the findings of the McCracken Tribunal. . .
