View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 658 to 660, inclusive, together.
The information requested by the Deputy is not held by my Department.
NUIG is an autonomous institution within the meaning of the Universities Act 1997. Under this legislation universities are administratively independent and are entitled to regulate their own internal administrative processes. Neither I nor my Department have a role in issuing of contracts to university staff, and therefore information on these contracts is held by NUIG itself, not by my Department.
