Dr. Colm O'Reardon:
I do not have a definitive read on that. Part of the work involved figuring out why the projected deficit arose and to what extent there was an adequate flow of information within the university about student numbers. The latest information I have is that the HEA is continuing to engage with the university on the subject. It is a work in progress. Part of the report examined the proper flow of information within the university about student numbers.
That is an ongoing piece of work in which the HEA is heavily involved.
