I can give an exact example of something I had to deal with. It has since been covered in the whistleblower legislation but if a person writes a complaint to the Cathaoirleach that someone was acting corruptly and the Cathaoirleach caused that matter to be investigated, the Cathaoirleach would not want the person making that allegation to have that person's name in the public sphere. That complaint would be protected as private papers in normal circumstances.
