Dr. Richard Thorn:

During the early part of this decade, I did some research work with a small research team from the University of Limerick. We set up some software systems to deal with lifelong learning. I have no professional involvement other than that. For about a year during the late noughties, I was on the board of a college which I think has become part of UL, St. Patrick's College Maynooth. I left that when I was doing some work with the HEA and there was a potential conflict of interest. Other than that I know a number of people, and that is about it.
