John McGuinness (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am making it clear to the Deputy that this is not a game. Mr. Watt is playing games. That is how I view it. I will not let him play games with an Oireachtas committee. The matter has been raised this morning arising from a letter that Deputy Pearse Doherty wrote to all of us and to the clerk. It is my job to clarify the position and to work with members and the Minister and his officials to achieve what is necessary for the Government in the context of the Estimates but I will not allow Mr. Watt to fool around with me. That is for sure. I will not allow him to attempt to make a fool of me as a member of this committee.
