We will have that correspondence forwarded to the Joint Committee on Justice.

The next correspondence is No. 410B, dated 2 March, from Ms Mary Harney, chancellor, University of Limerick, UL, providing information requested by the committee concerning a protected disclosure, which members will recall was brought to the attention of the committee by a correspondent who alleged that misleading evidence was provided to the previous committee by a delegation from UL in January 2019. At our meeting of 11 March, we decided to note and publish this item and advise the correspondent who raised the matter accordingly.

As it is not addressed in the response from UL, we also agreed to request that the university confirm whether the protected disclosure referred to included the specific matter of information provided to the committee on 24 January 2019, and if so, what was the outcome of that aspect of the investigation. This item is flagged for discussion by Deputy Catherine Murphy.
