To outsiders looking in from the outside, that seems to be very difficult to believe. The Secretary General does two things and does them very well. She advocates that the Department is a huge organisation comprising thousands and thousands of staff, but I am absolutely sure thousands and thousands of staff do not receive emails concerning high-level decisions, interaction between Ministers and between An Garda Síochána and the Department. I imagine that the number involved is very small, as Deputy Clare Daly alluded to.
