That is exactly the note I have written down for myself; essentially it was telling tales. Someone in the Policing Authority had taken it upon themselves to not telephone Ms West - she has never received any telephone calls from the Policing Authority - but to telephone someone in Garda management to tell tales on Ms West along the lines "Do you know that your assistant head of analysis has been on to us giving out about the Garda management and the report?". That is the first problem. The second problem is that the person to whom this was told felt bold enough to divulge that confidential information in the forum of an official management meeting to, albeit not in a public forum in the sense of a public meeting.
