Can Dr. Neavyn give the committee a flavour of the areas to which he is referring? Is it expenditure related to the taking of a business class return flight from Dublin to Chicago in April 2011 when another staff member flew economy class. The then president of the institute flew business class at a cost of nearly €3,400 whereas another staff member flew economy class on a standard ticket that cost approximately €1,000. There is a serious gap there. Have efforts been made to obtain a reimbursement of the difference between the cost of an economy class ticket and a business class ticket for that flight because that additional cost is simply not justified?
