I will call Deputy Connolly. I am sure Dr. Thorn is taking full note of what is being said here. He will look at the transcript. As Chairman of the committee, it is an extraordinarily disturbing situation, which the Committee of Public Account will have to deal with it in its own way, that information provided by a third level institution, the University of Limerick, is contradicted by information the same institution provided to the Department of Education and Skills. The Comptroller and Auditor General has also stated that he has not received complete information on these issues either. It is a wholly unsatisfactory response from the University of Limerick. Professor Fitzgerald is inheriting quite a situation. We hope to assist him in any way we can in our strong recommendations when we come to publish our report in the coming weeks.
