I thank the Minister for his statement. He has mentioned that prior to the issue about the e-mails becoming apparent, some 230 documents were discovered by the Department to the disclosures tribunal. Were they discovered by way of an affidavit of discovery sworn on behalf of the Department? If they were, was there a claim of legal professional privilege made over the documents sent to the tribunal or is the case that the Department has waived its claim to privilege over documents that, for instance, were generated in 2014, 2015 and 2016?
