Special Report No. 78 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Matters Arising out of Education Audits

11:20 am

Dr. Hugh Brady:

It would not be fair of me to name the individuals but, unfortunately, there have been high profile individuals who have left senior positions and have spoken about their experience or written about it in our national press or, even more worryingly, the international press. That is one of the issues going back to the Deputy's previous conversation with the provost of Trinity College. We appreciate the responsibility we have to ensure our corporate governance structures are in place. At the same time, we play on an international stage and are seeking the best international talent and to keep the best Irish staff here. They know what the environment and ecosystem is like in other jurisdictions. It is a difficult issue and it is a balancing act. The university sector is working with the HEA to look at a broader remuneration framework that is fit for purpose.
