Public Accounts Committee

Dublin Institute of Technology and Cork Institute of Technology: Financial Statements

9:00 am

Professor Brian Norton:

No, no, let me finish the answer, please. We did indicate in the correspondence there had been an internal review. We did not supply the internal review because the report dealt with all the issues in that internal review, but in our covering letter we indicated such a review existed and that was supplied to this committee in July of last year. We also supplied the report to the Comptroller and Auditor General and to the HEA. So there was no attempt to conceal it. As I said earlier on in my response to Deputy Catherine Murphy, I do not want to use the word again and be tedious, but I think we should have provided it. We provided it to everybody else but we felt that the report we provided - because we were not asked for a report; we were asked to answer the specific questions - answered fully all those questions that we were actually asked in the request from the Committee of Public Accounts.
