Report due next week on seized Delaney documents
Summary
The High Court will receive a report next week from independent barristers Niall Nolan BL and Patrick Mair BL. The report will recommend which documents seized by the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement (ODCE) from the FAI should be considered legally professional privileged and therefore cannot be used in the ODCE's criminal investigation. The documents in question include about 280,000 files covering a 17‑year period, with claims of privilege made on roughly 1,000 FAI documents and over 3,500 Mr John Delaney documents. The report will be delivered to Justice Leonie Reynolds on Monday and will not contain any of the privileged documents. The matter was adjourned to the following Tuesday, and the court noted that discussions will continue to resolve any remaining issues, including Mr Delaney's request for a private hearing. The proceedings remain open to the public.
