People should not steal from shops either but unfortunately they do. Sanctions are provided in order that people know a penalty will be paid when they do certain things.

I met Mr. Watt on this issue in a previous role. What is the current position regarding pay equalisation for public servants recruited since 2011? Where will they be at the end of the time period for resolving this issue? A number of pay restoration increases have been made to public servants as a consequence of pay agreements. They...

It should also show how much was taken from these salary bands under the unilateral pay cuts, how much was restored and how much it is planned to restore, year on year, since pay restoration began....

David Cullinane: I welcome Mr. Ó Foghlú and his team and Dr. Love and his team. Because it is his last appearance before the Committee of Public Accounts, I thank Dr. Love for his service with the HEA and engagement with the committee. He has been a very helpful witness on the number of occasions he has appeared before us. He has also been a staunch defender of the higher education sector. I...

David Cullinane: I am aware that Mr. Ó Foghlú cannot answer the questions but I have to say that I am amazed and blown away by the fact that this has got to the Attorney General's office. It is extraordinary that we have arrived at that situation where for those 50 people who came forward and were part of this process - if I am reading Dr. Love correctly - the senior counsel is saying not to...

David Cullinane: It is the Accounting Officer in Waterford.
- Public Accounts Committee: HEA Financial Statements 2017 (18 Oct 2018)
David Cullinane: Mr. Ó Foghlú, I am sure, knows the nature of that. It is a matter of fact that 50 people engaged with this process. It is a matter of fact that they expressed concerns. If there is a draft report that there is a fear of litigation, then that speaks for itself, in terms of some of what was in the report. I am aghast that it has gone to the Attorney General's office. This is...

David Cullinane: Did the Department at any point advise the HEA not to publish the report?
- Public Accounts Committee: HEA Financial Statements 2017 (18 Oct 2018)
David Cullinane: There was a draft report that was subsequently modified, as we know. There is a modified version which we did not know about until now. Did the Department offer the HEA any advice or give any direction on that modified version of the report being published or not?

David Cullinane: I am going to come back to this and will ask to put down for the second round, as I want to deal specifically with those issues and tease some of that out. I am very alarmed with what I have heard so far. This has been a right mess. It is ridiculous how this has worked out but I will come back to it. If I can come to Dr. Love's resignation email, a letter that he sent to Mr. Horgan who...
