Like all members of the Government, I view the publication of this document as an extremely serious matter. A full investigation has taken place and the file has been sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions. It will be a matter for him to make decisions based on the recommendations in the file.
As regards the action which has been taken, every possible action which can be taken within each Government Department to try to ensure that such Government or departmental documentation does not fall into the hands of people other than of those immediately concerned has been taken and will continue to be taken. As the Deputy, a former Government Minister, will know, it may happen from time to time that not every piece of Government documentation remains as confidential as it should. All we can do is condemn any leakage of that kind of documentation by anybody either within the Civil Service or outside.
