Dr. Ruaidhrí Neavyn:

The advice we have been given is that the report may form part of the defence in a legal case being taken by the former president against the institute.

As an institute, we have made significant corrections and changes in expenditure in the office of the president and all other categories. Expenditure has been reduced from a peak of €635,000 per annum in 2006 to €180,000 so far this year.
