No information has emerged indicating Ms Sologub had access to other companies’ sensitive information through her work with the ISIG or that she used her position for nefarious purposes.

“I was asked by somebody in the Department of Government and Politics in UCC if she could do an internship with me, so she worked in my office in Leinster House – she was a very pleasant person and very competent and did everything that was required of her,” he said. According to a UCC source, Ms Sologub would have gone to work for Mr Allen as an intern as part of her four year BSc in Government and Politics when third year students did a 14 week placement with a political figure or in some political institution as part of their course.
