What are your opinions

Shows how much work and research some lecturers actually do when someone can hold down two full time jobs 90kms from each other!

I think it says a lot more about the state of affairs in our Uni's though that a guy could get away with something so blatant. How could he have possibly kept it underwraps?

That is bad form if it's true, but otherwise part of me has to admire the guy.

Now I know why he kept trying to walk out of all those Digital Electronics lectures in first year...

prendy

will he be liable for the salaries as he seems to be in breech of his contracts or as its a public payed position will he be allowed away with it????

NextSteps

He served as dead of department on two occasions in Galway during that time

Great typo in the Indo!

Sounds like an idiot imo. Did he seriously think he would get away with it for such a length of time? He will almost certainly lose any pension he had, and I'm sure he'll be facing major problems in back-tax. Not to mention how much trouble this will cause for the masters/phd students.

This is completely untrue. He did supervise postgrads, some of them were very successful, some not so successful. One of his students is currently in California working with some of the best researchers in the world.

Also, I don't think anyone who took any of his undergrad courses can deny that he was always very well prepared. His notes were/are some of the most thorough in the entire engineering faculty.

Any suggestion that he was negligent in either job is simply wrong.

I'm closing this thread.
As far as I'm concerned, the issue has been thrashed out, the major loci of the opinion curve have been covered.
