Mr. Ed Mulhall:

In dealing with some of the questions in this inquiry, I am conscious that I am here to give evidence. I am not going to talk about things that I do not have direct experience of. I will probably use that qualification a couple of times when I am saying something.

With regard to "Future Shock: Property Crash", I did not have direct editorial responsibility for it. It was commissioned by Kevin Dawson in features, so he would have reported directly to the director of television, who was Noel Curran at the time. In terms of the fallout from that programme, television would have dealt with it directly.
