He is urging anyone with information to come forward.
“Maybe somebody doesn’t want to go to the Guards – they can come to me personally. I’ll go and deal with it (with the Gardaí) and their names won’t be mentioned. Once that leads to a prosecution or the return of the stuff €10,000 will be paid out. I want the stuff back or I want the prosecutions got and I’ll pay the money. Whoever says its wrong or right – I’ll pay the money.”
