One of the things the missing page 14 stated was that there was a major problem with a lack of succession management, which was not highlighted by Deloitte or anybody else but was highlighted by Mr. Seamus McCarthy, the Comptroller and Auditor General, as an issue. This person, a scientist with no relevant experience according to the National Development Finance Agency, was taken back on the Monday following his retirement as a consultant on €21,000 for one day a week. The KPMG report states that approval was not sought from the HEA or the Department prior to the appointment but afterwards, retrospectively. Was Mr. Ó Foghlú aware of this?
