It is clear that the Tánaiste's conduct and actions have been unethical, underhand and deceitful. His actions may also have been illegal. Indeed, I believe the Garda has been notified on two occasions regarding what the Tánaiste has been involved in. I am amazed that he is even seeking to create confusion here because the facts are obviously clear that this is a confidential document that was not for putting about the place. He leaked it to a friend, who stated, "Leo always delivers." It shows that Ireland in 2020 is not about what one knows but about who one knows. That is key to what happened here. It is an open secret in this Chamber that the Tánaiste leaks to journalists to improve his political lot. Deputies from Fine Gael have said that to me in the past.

The Tánaiste said in his speech that this was a public document, but he then contradicted himself in his reply to a previous speaker when he said that the document was not in the public domain. Will he clarify whether it was a confidential or public document?
