I will certainly do that if I get the chance. I agree with Deputy Kelly that the Department of Justice and Equality should err on the side of sending too much when it comes to documentation. If officials have documentation in front of them and are wondering if it is covered by the terms of reference of the tribunal, they should assume that it is. That is the approach that all Departments should take when it comes to discovery orders from tribunals. I was concerned that when the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Flanagan, heard about one of the famous emails that after he directed it to be sent to the tribunal, the Department still sought legal advice on whether it was covered by the terms of reference of the tribunal. It should have just been sent down straight away.
