A report is coming from the Comptroller and Auditor General but that is small piece of this jigsaw which looks at one particular company and one particular element of it. If we call a spade a spade, the HEA report was probably too broad as well and that was one of the problems.

In any event, I am aggrieved because many people came to me in confidence and made protected disclosures. They also went to Mr. Michael McLoone and spoke to him in confidence while people in senior management positions were given draft copies of the report due to their senior positions. They could easily identify the individuals who came forward. That is not a good culture to have within an organisation. It is not fair to people to put them in that position where they come forward and a draft report is sent to the management of the institute whereby they can work out who has been talking to Mr. McLoone and then they are just left there. That is what the Teachers Union of Ireland, TUI, is saying in its letter. It is saying that these people have been left hanging with no back up and no report. I accept that we have to wait for Dr. Love to come in but I am not sure what he can do considering he is leaving in October.
