- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 103 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Remuneration of certain senior staff in the University of Limerick and Institute of Technology Sligo (24 Jan 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Those who are responsible for the report can provide the answers. When the terms of reference were being drawn up for each of these five reports, was any contact made with the person making the grievance, the maker of the protected disclosure or the person citing issues to ensure the terms of reference were adequate in catching those issues?

Marc MacSharry: Does Mr. O'Toole wish to tell us about his side?
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 103 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Remuneration of certain senior staff in the University of Limerick and Institute of Technology Sligo (24 Jan 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I would appreciate it if Mr. O'Toole could do that. It occurred to me - perhaps it is not usually done although it seems to be good practice - to allow both sides of an arrangement to look at the terms of reference before something is undertaken. If terms of reference were set inadvertently or intentionally as too narrow or broad, we might not get anywhere near where the whistleblower might...
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 103 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Remuneration of certain senior staff in the University of Limerick and Institute of Technology Sligo (24 Jan 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Were any reports produced by internal auditors for UL from 2008 to date and could the committee have a list of those reports and who requested them? Were there any risk reports on fraud and internal audit? If there are such reports, could we have a list and, ideally, copies of them? The witnesses will not have them today but they could be sent to the committee. Does UL have a confidential...

Marc MacSharry: Does the Department have a view on this?
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 103 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Remuneration of certain senior staff in the University of Limerick and Institute of Technology Sligo (24 Jan 2019)

Marc MacSharry: The Samaritans operate in a certain way along with many other helplines, including those for rape crisis. There is the abortion helpline, for example. It seems to be self-explanatory.
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 103 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Remuneration of certain senior staff in the University of Limerick and Institute of Technology Sligo (24 Jan 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Is there plenipotentiary status beyond what is defined literally in the Act to do whatever an institution likes with protected disclosures?
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 103 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Remuneration of certain senior staff in the University of Limerick and Institute of Technology Sligo (24 Jan 2019)
Marc MacSharry: All right. Does a section of the Department deal with it?
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 103 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Remuneration of certain senior staff in the University of Limerick and Institute of Technology Sligo (24 Jan 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I am thinking about the effectiveness of the protected disclosures legislation. Clearly there are differences in interpretations and the measures put in place. Have the Revenue Commissioners been asked to consider benefit-in-kind implications of the matters in the report? We were talking about the Garda. I made a formal request that they be invited in to consider these matters and was told...

- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 103 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Remuneration of certain senior staff in the University of Limerick and Institute of Technology Sligo (24 Jan 2019)
Marc MacSharry: -----it seems to me that there are a few questions flying around. It would seem to me that in the interest of completeness, while I have suggested the Garda involvement, I am sure that Revenue may have an interest if somebody was getting over and above what they should be getting, if they were having additional pay for doing a PhD. and all of this kind of thing, or were getting a contact to...

Marc MacSharry: Will Mr. O'Brien ask Revenue what the benefit-in-kind implications are, if any?
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 103 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Remuneration of certain senior staff in the University of Limerick and Institute of Technology Sligo (24 Jan 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I noticed that Mr. O'Brien introduced Mr. Moran as the director of strategy. I also note that the university has a new role of director of strategic projects and transformation. What is the connection between the roles? Is there a connection or is it just a similarity in name? What is the new function?
