Mr. Watt did not answer any of the questions. We got no information from him that day. We certainly were not aware of the details of the pay arrangements. We certainly were not aware of the letter that Mr. Watt had sent to Trinity. We certainly were not made aware of the €2 million annual recurring funding. None of that information was provided to us. None of it was provided to the Minister. It seems that Mr. Watt was the person who signed off on it.

I return to Mr. Watt's opening statement in which he said the funding could be administered by the Health Research Board. That is a bit ambiguous. He is now saying the money may have been coming from that. Was that because it was uncertain?
