I did not ask about anything recent. I asked about what is here in this paragraph. In 2014, it had been due since 2011.
I mentioned agency staff. There is a belief on the ground that consultants are being used to an excessive degree in NUIG. Private consultants are being brought in for different things, including the law faculty. I have gleaned this from the local newspaper. The witnesses should tell me if I am wrong. The university has confirmed that the school of law has spent almost €180,000 on one consultancy firm for 22 months work. It is all set out in the local newspaper. Is that unusual? What was that for?
