Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 January 2014
228. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance the procedures that exist in his Department for the maintenance of sensitive files; if he will review these procedures in view of the loss of documents relating to the bank guarantee; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2870/14]
View answerThe Department has procedures relating to records management. These procedures include additional controls related to sensitive files and documents. As part of the process, the section in the Department to whom the file is registered specifies whether the file should only be seen by that section. On the file tracking system the file is marked on the comment field as containing private and confidential material or secret material. These procedures are reviewed regularly.
