Mr. Robert Watt:

We talk about an application for a derogation. Having read through the minutes, my sense is that there was a dialogue or a conversation. The experts who have experience were trying to use their expertise to help the national children's board. When the board came with an outline proposal, there was a debate, a conversation or a dialogue. We should not have given the impression that it was a formal application. It was a debate or consultation. It went on over 18 months. It was a rolling conversation. It eventually led to the collective view that this option was the best option. I accept what Deputy Cowen said earlier. I would not want to characterise it as a conflict because it is not. They are all trying to do the same job.
