- Public Accounts Committee: HEA Financial Statements 2017 (18 Oct 2018)
Bobby Aylward: I will probably be repetitious in touching on some topics because it seems to be all about governance and accountability today. As was said, it is a pity we are not talking about further education and having a better system in place, rather than talking about governance and accountability. I am sorry to hear that Dr. Love is leaving. I wish him well in his future career wherever he goes....

Bobby Aylward: Dr. Love's talents are very honourable. We consider Ireland to be the island of saints and scholars. While I do not know about the saints, it is important that the scholarly ambition be retained. On Mr. Ó Foghlú's statement, every bit of the report is about accountability and governance. It includes lines such as, "The introduction of a new governance framework for the higher...
- Public Accounts Committee: HEA Financial Statements 2017 (18 Oct 2018)
Bobby Aylward: Is Mr. Ó Foghlú saying there were failures in the system and that it was creaking up until the new regulation on governance was brought forward in 2015? Where were the failures, problems or the breakdown in the system?
- Public Accounts Committee: HEA Financial Statements 2017 (18 Oct 2018)
Bobby Aylward: On the institutions under our control that have been mentioned such as those in Limerick, Cork and Waterford, as well as the institutions in counties Kildare and Wicklow, representatives of have appeared before the committee, and where the big faults were found in the system, were the institutes out of control in ignoring the rules and regulations in place and in terms of the powers to...

Bobby Aylward: I am referring to institutions and universities.
- Public Accounts Committee: HEA Financial Statements 2017 (18 Oct 2018)
Bobby Aylward: It was all about governance. Why did we have representatives from those institutions before the committee and why were we asking questions? Why were there investigations after they had been here? There were questions to be answered, whether about governance or errors. There was a breakdown somewhere along the line. They would not have been before the committee which investigates how...

Bobby Aylward: I accept the concept of self-governance, but if there is no self-governance, there are breaches of the rules and some are running away with themselves in exercising their powers-----
- Public Accounts Committee: HEA Financial Statements 2017 (18 Oct 2018)
Bobby Aylward: Should there be some system in place that would ring an alarm bell if there were breakdowns or breaches? Everyone is not perfect and there are always breakdowns and problems with individuals or institutions.
- Public Accounts Committee: HEA Financial Statements 2017 (18 Oct 2018)
Bobby Aylward: On powers to investigate in the future, does the legislation need to be strengthened through the Dáil or is it a matter for the Minister? Who has the power to give the HEA or another entity the power it needs to step in? Who is responsible? Is it the Minister of the Government of the day, or is it us as legislators?
- Public Accounts Committee: HEA Financial Statements 2017 (18 Oct 2018)
Bobby Aylward: Therefore, the legislation needs to be strengthened. I want to clarify that we, as legislators, are responsible to make the powers-----

Bobby Aylward: My last question is about the relationship between the Department and the HEA. Does Mr. Ó Foghlú think it is good, with there being no conflict and with transparency and accountability between the two? Is there a good working relationship?
