The Tánaiste could have turned around and expressed concerns about what was happening. She could have counselled against it.

The Tánaiste has told us she became aware of the email on Thursday. She never mentioned it to the Taoiseach. Did the Tánaiste ever mention that email to the Taoiseach? Who told him about that email? The Tánaiste did not tell him. The Taoiseach said he only saw it on Monday evening at 11.30 p.m. Will the Tánaiste tell us when she told the Taoiseach because it appears that the she did not tell him on the Thursday, the Friday, the Saturday or the Sunday and I have a strong suspicion that there were efforts being made to suppress this email?
