With the Chair's permission I have one more question. During my last engagement in May 2022, I asked Mr. Moynes, "Would the Department not have a view on the process undertaken, given the fact that it is State money and given how the site was acquired?" The site I enquired about was the Dunnes Stores site. We are now talking about the Rhebogue site, and his response to me at the time was that, "There is a governance process in place between the HEA and the university. We have paused funding while we await the KPMG report". The same question applies to the HEA. This is a new Department looking specifically at higher and further education. First, what has it done to liaise with the HEA? Second, what has it done after reading countless newspaper reports, and the reports - all from UL - with which at this stage you could probably paper the walls of the Department?
