"Mr Makhlouf believes that at all times he acted in good faith. Mr Makhlouf is leaving his role at the Treasury to take up a position as head of Ireland's central bank. It has taken immediate steps today to increase the security of all Budget-related information and will be undertaking a full review of information security processes," it said. The inquiry into Mr Makhlouf's actions will be separate from the inquiry into authorised access of Budget information.
