Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I do not see any reason why, if there is any doubt, one would not just send it down anyway. This is a tribunal established by the Oireachtas for a particular purpose and Departments should not think they have anything to hide or even have that mindset.

In terms of the section 41 letter, that contains allegations about the liaison unit for the tribunal in Garda headquarters. This is a matter that has been raised in the House already. It was raised some months ago by Deputies Clare Daly and Mick Wallace. I have asked the Minister for Justice and Equality to seek a response from the acting Garda Commissioner to the allegations made. I want that response to be a line by line response to each allegation, each assertion and each fact.
