Special Report No. 78 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Matters Arising out of Education Audits

12:30 pm

Dr. RuairdhĂ­ Neavyn:

As the revelations emerged, a new chairman came in so, to be fair to the new chairman, he was very active in dealing with this matter. There would also have been a change in membership of the governing body in the last two and a half years because the cycle of new governing bodies commenced about two or two and a half years ago so there would be many new members on it. The governing body is extremely proactive on this matter and has taken all necessary steps to ensure we can review the level of expenditure and the reason for it.
