Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

No, it most certainly did not. I made contact with the deputy commissioner of governance and strategy, who was acting Commissioner at the time. I asked him to raise the matter at the next executive, which was on the Tuesday. From memory, this document was received on a Saturday. I asked him to raise it at the next executive. To me, this was an interpersonal dispute between two individuals in a particular line of management. At that time, the line manager was the chief administrative officer. I asked the acting Commissioner to have Mr. Dunne meet with both of the individuals and try to address and resolve this and identify if there were any further actions required.
