Dr. Tony Holohan:

The Secretary General made it clear earlier that if I was to relay to a Minister all of the things that I know that have happened and also all of the things that have the potential to happen simply to demonstrate after the fact that I had told the Minister, I would not be doing my job. My job is to manage things and make judgments for which I am happy to account. Therefore, I say I have no problem with and welcome the accountability that will be brought by the Scally process. I am very happy to answer for all of the judgments I have made. I am very happy to take any learning that will come from it, either for me or the Department and apply it.
