I thank Mr. Nugent.

Finally, on the emails, Mr. Nugent states today that a report was sent to the Policing Authority on the use of email but that "this report related to organisational use of email and not email use by any individual within An Garda Síochána." Last year, Mr. Nugent told me:

I do not know if I did a specific report. I certainly looked at emails about 12 months ago. Can I remember if it was sent to the Department? I do not know. It is more than 12 months ago since the issue occurred, and I do not remember.

Mr. Nugent continued:

I am saying that I do not believe I did a report. I said that I had a look at emails that were there but I do not recall producing a report [...] I am fairly sure I did not send a report to the Department of Justice and Equality. My point was that I do not believe I produced an actual report. That was my point.

We now know that Mr. Nugent did produce a report.
