Maybe Mr. Nugent could send another email around.
On the second issue, I will direct my query directly to the acting Garda Commissioner. During our initial hearings in respect of the Garda College in Templemore, the committee heard that there was a lot of toing and froing around a meeting on 27 July, the duration of which the Commissioner was not sure and around which time the issues in the Garda College were just breaking. A document was sent to the previous Garda Commissioner on 24 July by Mr. Kenneth Ruane. The then Garda Commissioner personally claimed privilege on this document. The committee has sought and is still seeking this document. That Garda Commissioner is no longer in place. I ask the acting Garda Commissioner here and now to release that document. It is not a document sent to him, rather it is a document sent to the previous Garda Commissioner. I ask the acting Garda Commissioner now to release that document to this committee. We have made numerous requests for it.
