I find that answer very disingenuous because Mr. Nugent is missing one basic component of what I said on purpose. It is none of my business if Mr. Nugent uses his private email to communicate with Mr. Ó Cualáin or Mr. Kelly to discuss the results of a GAA match or a golf game that is happening. This is about official Garda business and documentation being shared. My question, the answer to which I can infer because none of the witnesses denied it, was whether anybody had ever sent or received anything involving Garda-related business using private email. The issue is that this creates risk. It creates risk when somebody uses private emails for business purposes because there will be no record of what transpired. It has nothing to do with individuals sharing information that is not related to their work. I am asking about work and I have been asking this question for a year.
