Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 April 2004
160 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Education and Science the communications he has had with a person (details supplied) in County Dublin; the investigation he has carried out; the complaints made; the outcome of these investigations; the further actions he intends to take in the matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12249/04]
View answerOn foot of initial correspondence from the person referred to by the Deputy on 31 January 2003, I made enquiries with the Higher Education Authority regarding the complaints being made. Letters were issued from my office on 10 February 2003, 21 May 2003 and 17 September 2003 outlining progress on the matters under review by the university involved, arising from the original complaints.
In this regard, my correspondence of 17 September 2003 outlined my understanding that the board of studies for the particular programme in the university concerned had approved a recommendation of the university's audit committee on matters that were the subject of complaint. I understand this is now being implemented. No further correspondence has been exchanged between my Department and the person concerned on the matter.
