1837. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if, in relation to September 2021 when TU Dublin appointed ten new secretary/financial controller grade II positions, where eight of these were new posts and only two of these positions were across the three legacy institutions pre-merger, he will confirm whether TU Dublin sought approval from his Department for these appointments.
