I am aware of the media reports of the incident in Australia which the Deputy has referred to. I am not aware of any instances of leaking of confidential State documents in the manner referred to or by the firm involved in Ireland. I am advised that the Official Secrets Act 1963 would apply to any appointments to Government Commissions or Committees of a similar nature in Ireland and would make it a criminal offence to disclose or communicate any confidential official information that might be obtained during the course of such appointments or otherwise unless authorised to do so.
