Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

In November 2014 a representative of the president contacted the Department and indicated that the president would be interested in moving from his role. Following discussions in March 2015, the governing body of WIT agreed to a request from the Department for the secondment of Dr. Neavyn as an adviser on the development of the technological sector in the HEA. At the last meeting, we discussed the fact that we were working through the payment for that. The HEA has come to an arrangement with WIT regarding the recruitment of Dr. Neavyn and his salary for the period of the secondment so there is no cost on WIT for the secondment. I have the specification of his role here.
