Cork Institute of Technology: Financial Statements 2013 (10 Dec 2015) John Perry: Will Mr. Ó Foghlú comment on this because it is an important point? If there is an appeal to the Department in such cases, does the Minister have discretion in the matter? We are talking in this instance about a situation where a cost-benefit analysis and due diligence were done but it ended up with contracts having to be cancelled and new ones drawn up. It is important to know...

Cork Institute of Technology: Financial Statements 2013 (10 Dec 2015) John Perry: It is important to note that the institute did not have the facility to borrow. Without wishing to be too parochial, I have a question regarding St. Angela's College in Sligo. It is the only school of home economics in the country and is now part of the institute of technology campus along with the school of nursing. There is an issue there whereby a capital project was approved in 2011...

Cork Institute of Technology: Financial Statements 2013 (10 Dec 2015) John Perry: The point I wish to emphasise is that these works were included in a list of approved projects in 2011.

The shelf life of the St. Angela's College project dates back to 2009 or 2010. Does the HEA or the Department...

I hope the delegates will do their best to advance it.
