Ms Justice Mary Ellen Ring:

Just so it is clear, the Deputy is talking about an office at which a limited number of people work. Certainly, there were even fewer people there in 2016. In 2016, GSOC had perhaps one of the lowest staff cohorts at its Longford, Cork and Dublin offices. It had approximately 77 staff across the organisation, which presented challenges in Cork, with which the Deputy will be familiar, Longford and Dublin. I am not going to comment on an office which in 2016 had a limited number of people working, because the people involved are identifiable. Unless the Deputy is going to say something specific about someone specific who has the right to reply, I am conscious that we are talking about a limited number of people who were working there in 2016.
