Caít Keane (Fine Gael)

A senior-ranking person in the Department of Finance was charged with the responsibility of giving advice to the Taoiseach and answering parliamentary questions. I want to put it on the record that this person did not release any information or file into the public domain. Somehow, however, it got out there which warrants another investigation. While it is good it got out there, her warnings were systematically removed and erased from draft answers to parliamentary questions to Fine Gael Deputies who were in opposition at the time and had begun to ask the relevant questions.

I want an investigation into this. The person in question has said she feels isolated in the Department. I am speaking out on her behalf to ask why this is.
