Public Accounts Committee

Bord na gCon - Annual Accounts 2011

12:30 pm

Mr. Phil Meaney:

I wish to make a third point. You asked me what action we have taken against certain media. I have taken action personally. I have been accused in the public media. Certain accusations have been levelled against me personally and I am in the process of dealing with that. For the record, I am not someone who believes in litigation and so on but when I am wronged I have no choice but to defend myself and that is what I have done. I did not intend going down this road today because I took the view it was inappropriate to do so in the committee, but I am happy to answer the question.
