Paragraph 2.18 refers to how the review highlighted some common areas of weakness, including in respect of systems for managing conflicts of interest and the decision-making process around relative equity stakes in spin-out companies. These were the two areas that the committee and I focused on. We highlighted potential deficiencies. That has been agreed by the Higher Education Authority and Knowledge Transfer Ireland. These were the areas where there were weaknesses.
