I read in a report in The Examinerthat the Committee of Public Accounts was no longer interested in CIT and what was going on in it. That is untrue; we are very interested in it. I raised questions – this goes back to the issue of spending – when €20,000 had been spent on a painting. I am not making an issue of it, as we can discuss that issue at a later date, but that activity and expenditure do not do the sector any good. There are matters in the two documents that refer to many issues within CIT and I am deeply unhappy when reading them. I would like to receive a far more efficient response from the HEA and the Department.
