Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

Appointment of Special Envoys: Secretary General of the Department of the Taoiseach

Mr. Martin Fraser:

I was trying to answer the Deputy's question there, but he interrupted me. I will not get into commenting on what happens at Cabinet meetings. I do not know anything about that stuff. On the specific point raised by the Deputy, which is not within the remit of the committee and not within the remit of what I was invited here to talk about, I was asked to investigate that leak. To be honest, of course, I wish people would not leak from Cabinet. However, I was asked to investigate that leak. I have not been able to find out who did it. I am not optimistic.
