Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

It started in the autumn and has been undertaken by departmental staff. We are discussing the issues with staff in the Higher Education Authority, HEA, and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. We are seeking clarification from the University of Limerick on several cases. The time in which it will be completed will depend on the amount of time it takes to work through the detailed information. We are looking at all the cases where added years were awarded from 2012 onwards. We will make a decision on whether we have to look at further cases when we have completed that.
