Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Garda Oversight and Accountability: Policing Authority

9:00 am

Ms Josephine Feehily:

First, as regards my opening remarks, it was that part of the testimony I was referencing. We asked similar questions about whether the Gmail accounts were used for Garda business, rather than the point about the report. In fact, it was us who reminded him that he had given us a report, after he gave the committee that evidence. It was the other part of it. We have received the same assurances that the committee received. We have received assurances also that Mr. Nugent personally reviewed a lot of Gmail activity to make sure that there was no Garda business. We were focused on Garda business in the sense of sensitive information, security information, investigations, personal information and so on. In that context, we received similar assurances to those which the committee received.

I would certainly decline to comment on anything related to the Charleton tribunal until Mr. Justice Charleton has finished his work.
