I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. I welcome the protected disclosures legislation. We all do. This is its first case. It will be interesting to see how it is treated. I would like to raise a couple of issues. Can the Taoiseach confirm if the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Bruton, met with the civil servant involved prior to the submission in the past few days of the current file? I note the Taoiseach's reference to his notes. Has he discussed this matter with the Minister, Deputy Bruton, since it first arose last Thursday at the Committee of Public Accounts? Given the serious allegations in regard to the management of this information within the Department, has the Taoiseach sought a formal meeting with the Minister, Deputy Bruton, or officials from his Department in regard to the handling of this file?
