Information has been placed on the record of this committee to which this also refers but which was not put before us. Mr. Boland himself referred to it on 4 October 2012 when he outlined what he asked of WIT on 17 May 2011.

To go back to a comment made by Deputy Deasy regarding Mr. Byrne, the report stated, “At no stage has Deloitte or the governing body suggested any expenditure incurred in the president’s office was for the purposes other than that of the institute”. There are significant findings in this report, relative to facts and figures, which, had they been placed before the committee after the request for the 2011 report, may have caused us to think differently about events and expenditure.
