As regards the return of documents, the Ombudsman noted that the Commission had supplied certain confidential documents to the complainant in error and that, in accordance with the relevant legislation, it was entitled, and even obliged, to seek their return.
Maidir leis na cáipéisí a thabhairt ar ais, thug an tOmbudsman faoi deara go raibh cáipéisí áirithe rúnda tugtha ag an gCoimisiún don ghearánach trí thimpiste agus, de réir na reachtaíochta cuí, go raibh sé i dteideal, agus go deimhin go raibh dualgas air, na cáipéisí sin a fháil ar ais.
