Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: It is helpful. I know the Teachers Union of Ireland, TUI, for instance, in the Cork branch has passed motions looking to recoup this money, including from the president.

Topical Issue Debate: Protected Disclosures (10 Jul 2018)

The case shows the legislation to be operating in a shambolic way when it comes to Cork Institute of Technology.

Topical Issue Debate: Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (3 Jul 2018)

Alan Kelly: ...-scale fine put on in the tens of millions. There was a case in Greece where a small brewer took a high court action for similar practices. It is going on here in Ireland.

They should be able to do so more quickly to free up beds in the acute hospitals, in this case University Hospital Limerick and in the case of the Minister of State, University College Cork.

We...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)

Alan Kelly: It is interesting. Obviously, they do not talk, or rather they do meet but they did not discuss this, which is fine but it is very strange. I know Cork well. I went to UCC for many years. It is a great college and probably created me, if that sounds right. I am sorry about that. My issue, however, is that there are two colleges bidding against each other. The asking price is...
