I will not speculate in this regard. Subsection (d) is perfectly pragmatic. The Minister for Education and Science provided €26 million for veterinary facilities in University College Dublin and is entitled to nominate an appointee to the council. One never knows when we may need that additional funding. Due recognition should be given to her and her Department, as a nominating body.

Did Senator McCarthy refer specifically to the dean?
