Mr. Joseph Nugent:

May I correct the Deputy? He has only quoted some of what was said. His question to me on the day, which he did not quote, was:

When the Department of Justice and Equality officials were before the committee this week, I raised some questions with them. Mr. Nugent compiled a report on the use of a Gmail account by the former Garda Commissioner. Has Mr. Nugent given that report [in other words, a report on the use of a gmail account by the former Garda Commissioner] to the Department of Justice and Equality?

As the Deputy has said, I stated that I had no recollection of producing a report on the use of gmail by the former Commissioner, Ms O'Sullivan. That was the point I was making. To put it in context, this was not a topic that we had intended to discuss on the day, so I was not fully prepared on the issue. Afterwards, we provided the report that was produced for the Policing Authority. That is what has been provided. To be fair, it is important to reflect that I was answering a question about a specific report as opposed to a generic one.
