Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy received a letter in November 2013 from the Secretary General of the Department of the Taoiseach confirming to him that there was documentation relating to the bank guarantee held in the Department and listing the issues, the things the Deputy has received. I recognise this and stated in June 2014, "There is a faxed cover sheet regarding an Iris Oifigiúilnotice, No. 87; an Iris Oifigiúilnotice regarding the NTMA delegation of functions ...; a letter from the Clerk of the Seanad; a memorandum for the Government and a submission slip regarding a memo, No. 79." I also stated, "there are notes of a telephone call by the [then] Taoiseach with the then British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, points for telephone discussion with the Scottish First Minister, ... an e-mail from the Office of the Attorney General, including a letter to the Taoiseach, and so on." I readily admit that it is in the Official Report for June 2014 and the Deputy has confirmation from the Secretary General of the Department that there is documentation within the Department of the Taoiseach. I accept this and if I have caused any offence about it, I certainly withdraw it. However, what I would have expected - clearly, there may be much more information available in the Department of Finance on meetings that took place there; I do not know the range of meetings that took place in either Department-----
