Mr. Tadhg Daly:

It was not that I felt isolated at all.

It was the sector I represent which felt isolated. My emails reflect my approach to working collaboratively with people, and what I was looking for was guidance, advice and an escalation of matters. On the issue the Deputy referred to in terms of the Secretary General responding, he stated that it was escalated to other officials in the Department. I still have not had a response in respect of that particular matter.
