I thank the Minister for coming before the finance committee to discuss this issue. I understand he will also take questions on the national children’s hospital.

Starting with the secondment and to clarify, the report found that the Secretary General, namely, Robert Watt, bypassed all acceptable protocols for research funding in committing €2 million of taxpayers’ funding. Does the Minister accept that?
