Seán Fleming: In July 2014, the contract for online journals went belly-up and within three months one of the libraries closed - the one in Mountjoy Square, which has the 250 most educationally disadvantaged students in DIT.

Seán Fleming: Before Dr. Cohen does so, I cannot buy what Professor Norton has said. It is the equivalent of the Health Service Executive telling the committee that it had not closed a health centre on Mountjoy Square but moved it to Grangegorman.

Seán Fleming: It has been stated that steps were taken to ensure the service to students would not be affected as the result of the Swets contract. We find, however, that this happens within a very short period. Is Dr. O'Connor about to tell me that was a total coincidence?
