Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Engagement with Secretary General of the Department of Health
Mr. Robert Watt:
I disagree with the implication that somebody was involved in something that suggests the person acted out of personal interest. The person clearly did not do so. The individual was getting the same conditions as he was receiving in his existing job. I do not agree with the implication. As we all know and as we have just spoken about, the disbursement of funds is a matter that ultimately would have been decided by the Government and the Minister in the normal way. I do not agree with the characterisation in the report.
