It is interesting. Obviously, they do not talk, or rather they do meet but they did not discuss this, which is fine but it is very strange. I know Cork well. I went to UCC for many years. It is a great college and probably created me, if that sounds right. I am sorry about that. My issue, however, is that there are two colleges bidding against each other. The asking price is €950,000 and they pay €1.25 million, which is €300,000 extra. For the taxpayers or the people watching as well as for the HEA and the Department, there is something strange there. The Department should be aware of these things so that they can be examined. It is certainly an issue.

Will the HEA officials tell us why the travel expenses in the accounts for two of the board members are higher than the others?
