I do not think any of us does. It is something we need to consider.

Finally, I wish to raise a matter that is in the public interest. There is significant concern regarding the appointment of Dr. Tony Holohan, the Chief Medical Officer, CMO, to a position in Trinity College Dublin. Did Mr. Watt sign off on that? Did the Department engage with Trinity College or was it the other way around? A secondment is usually temporary. Will a temporary CMO be appointed? How did the secondment come about? Who signed off on it?
