Professor Shane Kilcommins:

I will give an example of a governance structure that has been put in place. It links with a comment that Deputy Ó Cathasaigh mentioned earlier. Our student record system is governed now through a subcommittee of the executive. It reports there and it also reports to a new digital governance steering committee that has been established, which has budgetary autonomy. It also reports to the executive. From there it goes through an audit and risk subcommittee of the governing authority and then to audit and risk. To give an example from President Mey's comments earlier, the structure is subject to quality review processes introduced in 2019 and 2022. They have been a good example of enhanced government practices in the university.
