Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Whistleblower Allegations: Department of Health

Mr. Robert Watt:

I am not in a position, nor should I be, to respond to any further allegation the whistleblower made in a private session involving members. I was not invited to that private session nor was the public invited, by definition. If we had been invited to that session and I had heard what had been said then I would be in a position to help the Senator and respond to those questions. I do not think it is appropriate for me to be asked about further allegations that have been made in a private session when we were not privy to those.
