I thank Ms McPhillips for coming in. My head is probably mush at this stage, so if I repeat things, it is just that I do not get it and am not clear on something. Ms McPhillips has been at pains to point out that the Department of Justice and Equality is a huge organisation. It obviously is but we are not talking about people in the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service, INIS, the Prison Service or the Coroner's Office. The people who have knowledge of policing matters at the top of the Department make up a small list. Six senior Department of Justice and Equality officials, including those who have the most senior responsibility for policing matters, were the recipients of the emails in question.
