I welcome everybody. My records show that a meeting of the committee in May 2014 discussed whistleblowing. I was not a member at the time. The minutes show, in the context of what Deputy Kelly said about what would have happened before the Bill was passed, that Mr. Ó Foghlú stated that even as late as the previous week the HEA had written to the institutes of technology about whistleblowing, asking them to ensure that they put arrangements in place to deal with any issues that may arise prior to the completion of the legislation being enacted. Was there a response from each institution on that or was that merely a memorandum that was sent around?
