In summary, having listened to all of the proceedings today, what happened in WIT prior to Dr. Neavyn taking over from the former president, Professor Byrne, has echoes of the Rody Molloy FÁS scandal, where there was abuse of taxpayers' money. I thank Mr. McFeely for being here today. That is extremely important in terms of public confidence in the education area and the spending of taxpayers' money. However, this issue appears to bear the hallmarks of a FÁS, Rody Molloy, scandal mark two. It is vital this is sorted quickly and that the taxpayers' money involved is recovered post haste. This should never happen again.
