Okay. It is a recurring issue and we can come back to it.

The next correspondence is No. 1387 B, which is held over from the last meeting. It isfrom Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú, Secretary General, Department of Education and Skills, dated 12 June 2018 providing information requested by the committee at the meeting on 24 May 2018 regarding a protected disclosure to Cork Institute of Technology and a subsequent review which took place. The committee had raised concerns about how the terms of reference were set for this review. We dealt with this item in private on Tuesday and I just want to formally note and publish it. Is that agreed? Some concerns remain and it is a matter we may return to in our next periodic report. It was not just about who set the terms of reference to deal with the protected disclosure but arising from that an investigation was established and it was who set the terms of reference for that. We will note and publish it. We will return to the issue in the autumn.
