You might clarify this for me because I have always wondered. As Secretary General of the Department, the responses to parliamentary questions end up on your desk before they are published. Is that correct? You answered a parliamentary question in the past about the processes and protocols for health funding. You answered a parliamentary question from my colleague, Deputy Cullinane, which stated "All applications for HRB funding are subject to international peer review, and the outcome of any application process is never predetermined." Tony Holohan's money was going to Tony Holohan, no matter what happened. Is that not correct?
