Guím gach rath ar an uachtarán nua, an tOllamh Ciarán Ó hÓgartaigh. Tá ceist agam maidir le uimhir a trí. The letter puts in perspective that the non-compliance for procurement is a small percentage of the overall budget. I acknowledge that. However, with regard to the explanations given, one is to do with rankings. It is number three in the explanation for procurement non-compliance in respect of supplier and the non-compliant amount, which is relatively small at €24,000. They have to give an explanation for why. The explanation here is that this is a sole supplier. They cannot get anybody else. This is the company to develop the university rankings so the university pays that company.
