Mr. Robert Watt:

The disclosure report and the disclosures by the whistleblower related to those cases. That is where allegations were made that, in effect, the issues raised related to those cases. That is why the focus of the review was on those cases to be addressed, based on the report and the "RTÉ Investigates" programme - it related to those subset of cases.

The amount of work to review those cases was substantial. To go through the reports and compile the report we did was a substantial undertaken. We basically concluded the work up to that point because they were the cases that were subject to the whistleblower's allegations. We do not believe from what we found or did not find there is justification for doing further reviews. We do not think that has merit. We do not think the cost and the time involved would be justified given that at this stage there is no prima facieevidence of practices that we believe to be inappropriate, as portrayed by RTÉ. Clearly, if we had found the practices were widespread in those cases, that would be a different issue and we would have to look at other cases, but since we did not find practices that were consistent with the nature of the allegations made, we have concluded the process of those cases.
