68. To ask the Taoiseach the terms of reference of the review of the Department of Justice and Equality's handling of the trawl of emails relating to the Disclosures Tribunal; and if the failure to search the former Minister's email account and the accounts of her advisers will be included in the terms of reference of the review.

The terms of reference for the review referred to are available on my Department's website, www.taoiseach.gov.ie.  The terms of reference include an examination of the actions taken by the Department of Justice and Equality in response to all requests for documents directed to the Department, including whether the Department has now carried out appropriately comprehensive search and retrieval to identify any relevant material for the tribunal and any concerns which arise.  The review may also advise on what further measures, if any, might be taken to address those concerns.  The Department of Justice and Equality will of course implement any further measures arising from the review.
