Policing Issues: An Garda Síochána
10:30 am
Mr. Joseph Nugent:
A number of issues are at play. I must admit that I was not expecting the question and hence, my inability to recall exactly what occurred at that time. If I do not answer all of Deputy Kelly's questions, I ask him to revert to me. I examined the assistant commissioner's personal email account to establish whether there were any serious work-related issues, other than what was discussed earlier, and found nothing. I reported verbally on that piece of work. This matter was discussed at a meeting of the Policing Authority, probably in private session. At that meeting we were also asked to report on revised practices on the use of personal and official email accounts within the organisation. That piece of work, I suspect, not having seen what the Minister said-----
