Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

National Children's Hospital: Discussion with Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

Mr. Robert Watt:

It is up to this committee to be satisfied as to whether we have come here and outlined to it the role of our Department in relation to this matter. Whatever about differences Deputies have about where we are now, I think we have tried to set out our roles and responsibilities fairly and as well as we can. It is my job to represent the Department and take responsibility for the Department. I hope we have done that today at this committee and at the Committee of Public Accounts. I think Mr. Quinn has said that if the committee invites the children's board, he will be happy to come along in the context of his role as a member of the national children's board. I think that is fair enough.
