Yes, it was an interesting decision. I have not heard the logic for it yet. The committee has discussed the matter many times. We will persevere and seek information in the two areas outlined. We have agreed to note and publish No. R1654B regarding Benefacts.

No. R1657B from Ms Eeva Leinonen, president of Maynooth University, is dated 11 January 2023 and provides information requested by the committee regarding a proposed student centre and student levy fund. It is proposed to note and publish this correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed. I note the correspondence states that the projected costs were more than 50% of the original contract, which would mean a breach of public procurement rules would be likely. That seems to be the rationale. Deputy Murphy has indicated she wants to speak on this matter.
