On the same issue concerning the non-consolidation of other funds in these universities or institutes of technology, there was a similar problem with Waterford Institute of Technology. A company called Campus Services Limited was brought in regarding the governance of the board so this seems to be a problem in these institutes. I accept that we are coming back to it.

We see non-compliance with national procurement guidelines far too often with many of these organisations, be they colleges or the HSE. I am uncomfortable that we just note it and move on. It is incredible that over and over, we see non-compliance with national procurement guidelines. Did we agree that we would come back to that as an issue because it is unacceptable that we just note these issues and there is no further scrutiny of what is happening.
