As a result of last week's meeting about the DIT's loss of €750,000 on the library contract and the shared service agreement being operated in Limerick, we need to write to the organisation which was referenced in the president of the DIT's opening statement and ask what other institutes of technology were involved and if the organisation can give us some information on their possible losses. If it cannot, we will ask it to give us the names and we will write to each of them because the Dublin case seemed to be a complete outlier as to the level of loss incurred compared to the others. I know that the DIT is the biggest, but we want to get the full picture of the cost to the institute of technology sector as a result of the contract. We only know about the DIT.
