Mr. Robert Watt:

I spoke about this in response to Senator Conway's questions earlier. Basically there were two reasons, which were: to ensure that RTÉ understood the profound nature of the allegations and that the allegations that had been made were serious; and to confirm that they were not true, that the evidence and information we had was that these allegations were not backed up and that we did not think there was enough basis to go with the very serious allegations being made. Those are the two points that I made to Dee Forbes.
