Public Accounts Committee

Special Report No. 103 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Remuneration of certain senior staff in the University of Limerick and Institute of Technology Sligo

9:00 am

Professor Desmond Fitzgerald:

In the future we will apply statute No. 4 and take an individual through a disciplinary process, but I would not move to it, unless there was an investigation within the institution. That is our legal advice. The Comptroller and Auditor General was very careful in saying they were not pointing at individuals. We do not use that as the basis for disciplinary action; we would be obliged to carry out an investigation. At that stage we would use it as the basis for a disciplinary action that might or might not be applied.
