Public Accounts Committee
HEA Financial Statements 2017
9:00 am
Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:
There have not been findings in the HEA's or the Department's investigations on Cork Institute of Technology. Obviously, there have been some governance issues, but there has not been any major investigation. I cannot refer to the Waterford Institute of Technology investigation, but previously there were serious governance challenges, which is why there is an investigation. The issues are related to the nature of borrowing to fund certain activities. With reference to the University of Limerick, we have had the Thorn report and there is a report pending from the Comptroller and Auditor General. We will be appearing before the committee at some stage in the future to talk through that report.
