Again, the Taoiseach has been and is still being very selective. There are some very consequential documents in this, such as Government memos. There is a full list there - well over 150 at this stage - of documents obtained under the freedom of information provisions, which proves there are records in the Taoiseach's Department.

The Taoiseach said records had been disappeared. He used the word "shredded". That was a slur on the previous Taoiseach. There is no other way of putting it.
