It seems extraordinary that €7.4 million was spent on travel and subsistence and only €2.2 million was spent on books and journals. For a university, about which I am quite passionate, it seems extraordinary, but I accept what Mr. Collins said.
Why did the accounts not distinguish between staff and travel costs funded by research funding and staff and travel costs funded by the core budget, or are there plans to do so, and why does that not happen?
