Department of Health official Robert Watt defended botched plan to appoint Tony Holohan to academic role
Committee chairman John McGuinness said members would compare Mr Watt’s evidence with that supplied by others about the secondment plan and it would consider holding more sessions and producing its own report.
Mr O’Callaghan told RTÉ's Morning Ireland that he and other committee members would “reflect on the evidence” provided by Mr Watt. He said he personally would like to hear from Ms Quinn, who had “produced an excellent, coherent report” on the controversy. He said he believed the positions of Mr Watt and Mr Donnelly “are tenable” but that “the secretary general needs to recognise that he’s a servant of the Minister”.
