Absolutely and I have not said he lied. I said that if it is shown that the system was not hacked, then he can be accused of lying. Time and again Secretaries General have been called before Oireachtas committees. In the case of the Joint Committee on Transport, of which I am a member, the Secretary General of the Department of Transport has refused to come before the committee. It is time these people were brought to heel. They are answerable to this House and it is time we made them bloody well answerable. I will be proposing an amendment to the Ministers and Secretaries Act in that regard.
