We might come back to this issue in the afternoon.

In regard to the University of Limerick, to many of us on the Committee of Public Accounts it seems as if we are playing a disproportionate role in institutional oversight. That is a criticism of the university, the HEA and the Department of Education and Skills. If these issues are to be caught early, where are the checks and balances in the university? What role does the governing body play? Does its remit include oversight, both financial and of processes? Has it been requesting reports? If reports have been requested, have they been provided on each of the occasions they have been asked for? Is it working differently from the way it was before? Can I have concise answers to those questions, please?
