I will stick to my 15 minutes because I want to allow colleagues to come in and we have an afternoon session. I concur with Deputy Connolly when she rightly pointed out that Dr. McCormack's opening statement dealt conclusively with the issues. Sligo Institute of Technology was exemplary in how it responded to the Comptroller and Auditor General's report. If other institutions behaved in the same manner, they would not have to spend as much time before the committee so I commend Dr. McCormack first and foremost.

I return to some points made by Professor Fitzgerald in his opening statement. He said that when he assumed his role, he commissioned an independent report to examine issues raised by whistleblowers. I assume this was the Deloitte report. Is that correct?
