Mr. William Beausang:
In this instance, I do not think Cork Institute of Technology has represented it as a self-investigatory process. It has referred to the role of its audit committee and the role of Arthur Cox, the conduct of which would obviously be subject to professional regulatory requirements if it were allowing itself to be unduly influenced by institutions that ask it to work with them. I absolutely understand the point the Deputy is making and the complexity that can arise in these kinds of cases.
