Public Accounts Committee

University College Cork and University of Limerick: Financial Statements

9:00 am

Professor Desmond Fitzgerald:

I have not. What I asked for was an independent review and, in the process, the opportunity for the whistleblowers to speak to the review team, particularly to Dr. Thorn, was made available to them. That was done through the HEA. All I have done so far is that when people have contacted me, I have indicated that they should contact Dr. Thorn. We have waived any confidentiality or any possibility that the university would penalise anybody on foot of that. We are trying to make it as open and independent as possible and give them every opportunity to speak freely to the review team.
