Mr. Robert Watt:
Deputy Deasy and I might be thick-skinned enough to put up with all this because that is the way life is. However, not everyone fancies it. There may be very good people who would like to come in but when they consider the risk - there is a risk about this public aspect to the job - they say, "No, thank you". Does that have implications for how the media reports public service? Of course, it does. We all know how the media have evolved in the past five or ten years and how they treat people now.
