General Practitioner Contract: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-11-03
============================================================

Catherine Murphy (SD), Kildare North

Yes. I want to try to get a number of questions in. I want to try to keep this short. These are the Tánaiste's words, "There may still be some changes made to it so don't take it as gospel." That is on 15 April. It was still not concluded at that stage. It was still confidential at that stage. What does the Tánaiste believe the consequences would be for an official in his Department? He has just told us that an official put this in the post and was aware of what was going in the post. What does he think the consequences would be if a document was going to be disseminated or leaked to a rival association while the Government was still in the process and had not concluded it, as has been said by his words on 15 April in that screenshot to Maitiú Ó Tuathail?
