In respect of the Taoiseach's awareness of the processes for freedom of information, FOI, within his Department, he will obviously be familiar with them given he has been a Minister for the past eight years. I assume that, like all of us, he is contacted not just by email anymore but also by text messages, WhatsApp and so on, and that some of that would fall into Government business. Is that correct?
