Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Whistleblower Allegations: Department of Health

Mr. Robert Watt:

Not with the director general, but I have spoken to others. The week of the programme I had a few conversations with Jon Williams. I think Mr. Williams is head of news and current affairs. However, I have not spoken to anybody in RTÉ about the programme since about 22 April or 23 April. Our communications people in the Department of Health, however, have spoken to RTÉ since about it, and we are reflecting on what we will do now vis-à-visthe programme. We have not waived any of our rights to challenge the programme, to make a formal complaint against RTÉ or to take any other action, and all those things are still possibilities. We have not had time to consider them but we will in due course.
