Public Accounts Committee

Special Report No. 103 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Remuneration of certain senior staff in the University of Limerick and Institute of Technology Sligo

9:00 am

Professor Desmond Fitzgerald:

I will be careful here. The disciplinary action was taken in such a way that there was a very good process. There was good advice from legal advisers. We followed all the procedures to get to a point where we could reach an agreement on those involved stepping away from their positions and accepting responsibility, to an extent, for what happened.
