1018. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to a report in relation to recruitment processes at the University of Limerick produced by a person (details supplied) and which was presented at a recent special sitting of the governing body of the University; his views on the report; when the report will be published; the steps he is taking on foot of the report; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy will be aware, under the current statutory framework, Universities such as the University of Limerick (UL) are independent and autonomous bodies and on that basis are responsible for the conduct of their own day-to-day operations.
In that context, my Department understand UL initiated the report referred to by the Deputy and therefore its publication and any recommendations arising are matters for the university to manage.
