David Cullinane: If there was no mistake made, would the tax be paid by the individual who was in receipt of the expenses or would it be paid by the university?

Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2014-2015 (30 Mar 2017)

David Cullinane: I know the university would actually pay it but who would be liable for the tax? Is it the individual or the university?

Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2014-2015 (30 Mar 2017)

David Cullinane: So the university had to pay €186,000 that it should never have had to pay because the individuals would have had to pay it.

Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2014-2015 (30 Mar 2017)

David Cullinane: Was that €186,000 in the context of a wider figure in terms of the overall spend? How much was spent on the travel expenses and the sabbatical expenses? What was the total amount over that four-year period? I am not talking about the tax liability? How much was actually incurred by the institute and how much was received by individuals in these sabbatical expenses?

Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2014-2015 (30 Mar 2017)

David Cullinane: I have some follow-up questions for Mr. Field. As I have only two minutes I am sure he will help me by being distinct in his answers. Mr. Field said that before he took up his post it was a temporary position for a period of maybe 12 months. Before he took up his permanent position who held that permanent position?

David Cullinane: I asked who was the last person to hold the permanent position, not the temporary one.
