- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: Mr. Beausang is from the Department. What is his view on this?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: I am not asking Mr. Beausang to name anyone. What we have here is a peculiar situation whereby a disclosures policy was in place and we have established that a number of the issues listed in that policy were mentioned in a letter written by a member of staff to Mr. Gallagher - one of the people to whom such matters should be addressed. Allegedly, the person did not engage and now the matter...

Marc MacSharry: That is decided-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: Who decides that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: Who is an appropriate official?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: If that person were mentioned in the letter or disclosure or whatever, is he or she an appropriate person to take the decision?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: Does it not?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: That is very unusual, is it not?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: If I were to make a protected disclosure against Deputy Kelly and if he were to make the decision as to the validity or otherwise of that protected disclosure, would that be reasonable?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: It is a subjective approach that can be taken.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: One has the benefit of protections in terms of legal recourse-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: -----but as to who decides it is a protected disclosure, it now seems clear from what Mr. Beausang is saying that a person who could be implicated, or not, by that protected disclosure is the one who determines whether, in fact, it is a protected disclosure.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: Let us say Deputy Kelly was the subject of a protected disclosure made by me and was the person who had to decide whether it was a protected disclosure-----

Marc MacSharry: Who is in the third-party process? Who refers the matter on?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: I am using my colleague here as the example because I do not want to be personal. If I work for Deputy Alan Kelly and I make a protected disclosure that involves him, how is it appropriate for him to decide unilaterally that there is nothing in the disclosure?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: Absolutely. That is exactly what I am asking Mr. Beausang about. How can an institution have any input into the validity or otherwise of, or the processes around, the assessment and investigation?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: Would Mr. Beausang not do so?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: In the interests of the institution.
