There was a court case with an outcome. It seems to be suggested in this correspondence that the outcome of that court case may be being interpreted differently by NUIG than the authorities at St. Angela's College and by this gentleman. The suggestion in the correspondence is that up to €1 million was potentially spent in legal fees which, without prejudice to any of our own consideration, would seem to allege that this was a potentially vexatious pursuit with the use of public moneys. While there has been an outcome from the court case, it appears that NUIG may have a different interpretation of that outcome than the authorities at St. Angela's or this gentleman, and this may be holding up the progression of the merger of the two campuses.
