Councillor Jim Moore is just a part-time chairman of the governing body. He is an elected representative. This is a big issue for any elected representative. I would not expect that of an elected person. I am a Teachta Dála and I would not want to deal with this on my own and I would not think a councillor can. From Mr. Beausang's knowledge - and obviously I will exclude Mr. Donnelly from this - on behalf of Waterford Institute of Technology whether it is legal, the Department or other members, who is the competent officer on the board to adequately deal with these matters? They are very serious issues. It would be very difficult for a lay chairman to be able to handle all of these issues without some support. Can someone tell me how the institute is going to deal with this?
