Mr. Robert Watt:

First, I did not try to stop the broadcast. That was not may intention. I do not decide what RTÉ publishes or does not publish. Second, we did reach out to the families. The programme was broadcast on 23 March. On 1 April, a week afterwards, we had written to the legal representative of the families. We had written to stakeholders and had appointed an independent liaison officer. We had been very proactive in responding. It could be said we should have been faster in doing so or more proactive. I accept that but I think we were fairly speedy. Our first concern was to establish the facts and to try to reassure the families. That is what we were trying to do and we did do that fairly speedily after the programme came out. One could argue we should have done better but I think we did our best to try to address the concerns people have.
