It is something I am raising because I believe it has not happened. I believe the companies have been very happy with the graduates that have come from GMIT and those courses are being undermined and underfunded and huge difficulties are being created for something that is theoretical. Nobody is actually looking at the practical situation on the ground.

I will ask some final questions on Limerick and the Mazars report. I will touch on issues relating to protected disclosures in the University of Limerick which Dr. Love referred to in his opening statement. The HEA was in receipt of protected disclosures. Dr. Love outlined the Mazars report. The words "Mazars" and "bizarre" come to mind. Dr. Love referred to "a facilitation process to explore the possibility of addressing and resolving the issues" and stated "It is regrettable that these issues have yet to be resolved". What did the Mazars report cost?
