Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Appointment of Special Envoys: Secretary General of the Department of the Taoiseach (29 Sep 2021)

John Brady: Mr. Fraser said he is heading up an investigation into the leaking of confidential material from Cabinet back in January. He said he is not investigating the information relating to the appointment of Dr. Zappone. Does he deem the leaking of material from Cabinet to be a legal issue?
