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:

I will return to what Deputies Daly and Kelly said because we are talking about two different things. When I spoke to Deputy Daly earlier, we were talking about the emails that we have since disclosed to the tribunal. That is a matter of interpretation by the tribunal. Deputy Kelly was talking about private emails, phone records, etc. That is a separate question that has not been raised up to this point. If the tribunal wants that material, we will contact it and ask it if it wants it and if it wants it, we will comply with it. This is one of the difficulties. I do not mean to be difficult at all but issues are being raised of which we have no knowledge. Perhaps Deputies have more knowledge than we do but we do not have records relating to these matters.
