Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Functioning of the Department of Justice and Equality: Department of Justice and Equality

9:00 am

Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

To take the Deputy's last question first, my understanding is again, we have not been asked for that. Can I finish answering the question before the Deputy reacts to it? I understand the tribunal has asked other organisations for their mobile phone records.

They have a team of investigators, as the committee is probably aware, that is conducting its work. If the tribunal asks the Department for those records, of course, we will co-operate with the tribunal. We co-operate in respect of the things the tribunal asks us to co-operate on. We would do that fully and wholeheartedly. Those are the circumstances. It is not a question of being at large on this.
