Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology

9:00 am

Dr. Graham Love:

The report kicked off last summer and I believe its original target date for completion was November, and if that was not possible it was to provide an interim report, which we received thereabouts or shortly afterwards. I will update the committee on this while we are in public session. We have hit a number of difficulties with the report, including significant legal issues. We have subsequently sent a version of the report to a number of individuals for feedback and a right of reply type process. We have a number of legal objections to elements of the report. I do not want to go into more detail than that here. We have recently received details of those objections and inputs. These are with our legal team at the moment.
