David Cullinane: I see it as a waste of money. I would expect that somebody who is paid a very generous salary, who is the Accounting Officer, and who is in the job because he is qualified to do that job - one of the functions of which is to come before the committee - should not require training.

- Public Accounts Committee: Dublin Institute of Technology and Cork Institute of Technology: Financial Statements (22 Jun 2017)
David Cullinane: Dr. Love will be aware of that. Very extensive questions were put to the president of Waterford Institute of Technology. The issue centred around potential conflicts of interest.
