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

On briefings for Opposition leaders, I can ask my Secretary General to carry out a review. As things stand, security briefings, even for Ministers and the Taoiseach, are given largely on an ad hocbasis. We do not have a formalised structure like that in other states. We need to consider that. We also need to consider the associated rules and what the consequences would be if there was any breach of confidentiality regarding any security briefing. All these matters would have to be taken into account.
