In regard to WIT, the invoice for €4,200 is very skimpy on details but the previous invoice dated 31 March sets out the number of hours for the flight, the landing, the aircraft and the VAT charged. Further clarity is needed on the invoice for €4,200 in terms of the date it was issued, to whom it was issued, details of the flight, when it was paid, how it was approved and the passengers on the flight. WIT has a good academic name but this issue needs to be concluded for the sake of its students and academic staff. The second report by Deloitte & Touche needs to be published and I expect the same in respect of the Grant Thornton report so that the institute can get on with its work. I would like the matter to be concluded speedily and I note the undertaking to keep the committee updated over a short period of time.
