It was discussed at length but I was not at the meeting where it was discussed. I commend Deputy MacSharry on raising the issue in the first place. The reply says that no specific guidelines are in place. Could we write advising that the HEA would seek to put guidelines in place? The HEA said it shares the committee's concern about the appropriateness of signing off on the expenses. Again, that goes back to what happened earlier today. Obviously it is not a huge issue but at the same time when there is wrongdoing, what is the sanction?
