I welcome the Secretary General and acknowledge his appointment. There is a heavy burden of responsibility on his shoulders. I also acknowledge his willingness to come before the committee from the start. I also acknowledge that he has been in the position of Secretary General at the Department of Health for two months and that what we are discussing did not happen during his tenure. That must be acknowledged. Mr. Watt was not given an awful lot of time to answer in the previous session and I ask him to agree that as my questions will not take more than a minute, I will have to put a limit of one minute on his answers because of the format.

What was the purpose of Mr. Watt calling RTÉ in respect of the "RTÉ Investigates" documentary, in what was perceived as a public intervention?
