In relation to University College Cork, the Comptroller and Auditor General has said that there was expenditure of €2.1 million in relation to the dental hospital and that, basically, there is an €8.6 million deficit as well for the year end September 2023, which had not been identified until December 2023. The lack of financial oversight is quite worrying for University College Cork. I will open up to other members on what their belief is in terms of writing to University College Cork for a complete explanation.
