Waterford Institute of Technology: Financial Statements 2013-2014 (6 Apr 2017) Mary Lou McDonald: First, I wish to endorse the comments of the Cathaoirleach and those of the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the issue of timeliness in financial reporting. It is entirely unacceptable that institutes of higher education, whoever they are, can float in here with archaic, out of date records. I want, therefore, an assurance from everybody concerned that they understand that...

Waterford Institute of Technology: Financial Statements 2013-2014 (6 Apr 2017) Mary Lou McDonald: I thank the witnesses for those responses. I would like an indication from Dr. Love of when the report I have requested on whistleblowers and governors will be available. I imagine the Department will have some role in this. I have reason to believe - I hope I am wrong - that we may have been misled by certain witnesses who appeared before this committee on behalf of different institutions.

Waterford Institute of Technology: Financial Statements 2013-2014 (6 Apr 2017) Mary Lou McDonald: No, I am not referring specifically to witnesses from University of Limerick who appeared before us last week. I have a concern we have not got the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth as regards disclosures and how they were managed. I want to make it clear that when we ask for a report, we do not want something that has to be revised and revisited; we want something...

Waterford Institute of Technology: Financial Statements 2013-2014 (6 Apr 2017) Mary Lou McDonald: On the issue of intellectual property, I specifically ask that the Comptroller and Auditor General looks under the bonnet of the commercialisation of IP because the governance frameworks and protocols are essential. The witnesses have said they have them and I accept that but we have to check they are being implemented and adhered to. I want to know where the money went. I want to see it...

- Public Accounts Committee: National University of Ireland Galway: Financial Statement 2013-2014 (6 Apr 2017)
Mary Lou McDonald: I apologise for not being here for the opening statements. I was detained at something else. My question concerns intellectual property and commercialisation. I am not directing my question at Dr. Browne personally but he is an experienced person and I want him to help me understand the sequence of events. In circumstances where an academic like Dr. Browne leads research and arrives at an...

Mary Lou McDonald: Again, I am not questioning anyone's research expertise. There is no doubt that research leaders bring something specific and special to the table so I am not trying to cast doubt in that regard. That said, research is carried out by teams and it would be very unusual for some Einstein brainiac to hit on something on their own.
