Joe O'Toole (Independent)

We have not taken a decision, right or wrong, about it and we are the last ones who can start criticising those involved. I admire the decision taken but I do not know enough about it to discuss the rights and wrongs involved. The university was left in a vacuum with no guidance from the Legislature. The governing body consulted its own experts and took a decision on the basis of their response. That was the best we could have asked them to do until such time as we put legislation in place.
