No details - by whom in the Department was it agreed? I understood the Minister is the boss. Mr. Watt used the terminology, "We have a relationship, an employer-employee relationship". If that is the case and he was my employee and plenipotentiary who headed off and spent €2 million of the company's money without telling me, he would be gone. However, because we do not have a "gotcha" culture that includes himself, he will be here into perpetuity. Did Mr. Watt agree or did he ever bring up the matter at a management advisory committee, MAC, meeting?
