-----in the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Justice and Equality five weeks ago. The message states:

An Garda Síochána has previously confirmed that, on occasion, members of the organisation have used commercial email systems to send or receive business-related emails. That generally occurred when access to commercial email systems was available from Garda desktops, which is no longer available, and was used for operational reasons. It should be stressed that in all cases, a record of all emails sent from or received by An Garda Síochána is maintained within the Garda email archive.

I will not bother playing the cat-and-mouse game of asking all the witnesses again because I have done it twice and have not got any answers. Mr. Nugent stated that every email is kept. He stands over that. So every email relating to Garda business is kept?
