We will ask the secretariat to provide information on what Knowledge Transfer Ireland is and where it comes from. We will note that correspondence and will come back to it.
We have received another item of correspondence, No. 1081, from the HEA providing a follow-up review report carried out by Dr. Thorn relating to certain matters and allegations relating to the University of Limerick. Dr. Love requests that this report be dealt with confidentially and that it not be published. He also states that there are three related ongoing High Court actions. Because of that and following discussion with the clerk, I have referred the correspondence and report to the Office of the Parliamentary Legal Adviser before circulation is considered. We will come back to it next week. High Court cases are referred to in the document and we want legal advice before we decide to circulate it.
