Public Accounts Committee

HEA Financial Statements 2017

Dr. Graham Love:

I think I know the case to which the Deputy is referring. The process described by Mr. Ó Foghlú is correct. I know there is a dispute regarding the nature of a particular disclosure that was made in one of the institutions referred to by the Deputy. Can I be forthright? We are moving towards the end of a process with CIT and are awaiting a final report that is being verified by the board and the audit and risk committee there in response to a disclosure we received last year. It came to the Department first and then to us. I must be very careful in what I say here so that I do not draw inappropriate links to a disputed case regarding whether something is a protected disclosure that was made several years prior to that. That is a separate matter.
