John McGuinness: At least there is a building there.
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2014 (24 Sep 2015)
John McGuinness: What concerns me is that the buildings are there, the project is completed to a particular stage. It is two years since anyone revisited that project. Buildings, by their nature, if they are not used tend to suffer from some kind of dilapidation. It will cost much more than €2.9 million.

John McGuinness: When did it tender?
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2014 (24 Sep 2015)

John McGuinness: What is the gap?
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2014 (24 Sep 2015)
John McGuinness: I find that extraordinary. Mr. Boland is here to oversee all these colleges and Mr Ó Foghlú is here to oversee the spending of taxpayers' money but nobody has a clear view of what exactly is happening to those buildings now and what the exact cost of completing it will be. Whether they want to do it or not is another question. Mr Ó Foghlú is talking about €2.9...

John McGuinness: When does Mr. Ó Foghlú think he will find out? Could he not ring the CEO of Diverse Campus Services? That was a title that we came across.
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2014 (24 Sep 2015)
John McGuinness: The president.
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2014 (24 Sep 2015)
John McGuinness: That president had a CEO of Diverse Campus Services involved during the process. Is that right, Mr. Boland?
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2014 (24 Sep 2015)
John McGuinness: Where is he now?

John McGuinness: Where is he now?

- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2014 (24 Sep 2015)
John McGuinness: I thank Mr. Boland for his permission. I will move on. Can Mr. Boland check with him to get the background to this and provide the Committee of Public Accounts with a report?
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2014 (24 Sep 2015)
John McGuinness: Mr. Boland will?
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2014 (24 Sep 2015)
John McGuinness: Mr. Boland is very helpful. If he will ascertain that we might then be able to determine where exactly this project is at.
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2014 (24 Sep 2015)
John McGuinness: Out of its own resources?
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2014 (24 Sep 2015)
John McGuinness: All the more reason why we should find out from the previous CEO of that company or the president exactly what happened.
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2014 (24 Sep 2015)
John McGuinness: I will not rest until I find out because something has to be done about that, Mr. Ó Foghlú. It may not have been the Department's funding, but it had to come from somewhere.
