The University of Limerick and the third level sector featured strongly in the last Committee of Public Accounts of which I was a member, unfortunately. Some of that related to whistleblowers. An investigation was completed by an external investigator in November 2020 into several of those allegations, some of which dated back to 2017. Some of the allegations were about people being appointed incorrectly. There were other issues as well. How many individuals were appointed incorrectly? What does that report tell us? Are the individuals still employed by the university? Was the director of strategy one of those individuals?
