Dr. Alan Wall:

As I outlined earlier, the annual governance statement is one of our centrepieces because it allows institutions to tell us they are compliant with the governance arrangements in regard to a number of things. We also have set-piece meetings, as I said before, and an oversight agreement, all of which gives rise to the capacity of the institution to tell us about any issues. They do, and we hear about procurement things particularly, in general.

In respect of the academic year 2018-19, we have a governance statement that indicates that €8 million was spent. On the question of capital investment, there are no issues with governance, as we read it. On the general question about governance, it is stated that there are no governance issues to be raised either. In subsequent meetings when I asked questions about governance, we did not get any indication there was any issue here.
