Ivana Bacik is said to have instruction the party's General Security to establish the source of the leak.

She said. "The leak was not an official record of the meeting nor did it accurately reflect what I said in the meeting, nor did it reflect the full context of the discussion."

"I've been very clear, we have always been a party that is serious about delivering change."

"We’re a party that’s serious about engaging in talks and engaging in a process."

When talking about what will happen if it found on who the leaker was she said, "We are taking action to explore this, and clearly there’ll have to be consequences for whoever leaked it."
