The next issue I wish to raise is travel and subsistence. In that context, are staff at UCC allowed to have credit cards? If so, how are costs controlled and audited? The figure for travel and subsistence is €7.4 million. Which is more important - travel and subsistence for staff or books and journals? I spent years in the Boole Library and I would presume that the latter is more important. However, €7.4 million was spent on travel and subsistence but only €2 million was spent on books and journals.
