In the public interest, it is all taxpayers' money. While we hand out doctorates on one hand for people's exemplary actions in the public interest, we treat others very shabbily. I am gobsmacked that people who are implicated have been sidestepped into other roles within the broader University of Limerick family and are on the same salary scale. Why anybody would even read the code of conduct, fraud policy and protected disclosure policy and feel that they are even remotely protected is beyond me. They can look forward to those implicated being effectively rewarded or sustained and those who call it out being thrown under the bus. The facts tell us that.
