Great place to retire, even got an ice sculpture for the party.

CIT even unashamedly defended the spend, with a €1m deficit.
You’d think the €225k lump sum and €78k a year pension would suffice.

What is it with CIT and bloody dolphins?

Complete lack of oversight at third level institutions for the last decade.

You have all the universites and bigger institutes claiming the poor mouth and hiking fees and charges every opportunity whilst pumping money into trusts and other setups to hide it from government eyes so the books look like they are barely getting by.

We dont have "fees" yet we still manage to have one of the highest third level fees in europe!.

We would do well to overhaul the entire system and pump alot of those funds into a more structured apprenticeship system and encourage students to consider them as a worthwhile avenue after school.

Because he's worth it?

Ice sculpture commemorates the dead dolphin caper, thought that would be obvious.

No evidence of any ice sculpture.

Of course not....it'd be a big puddle of water now.

Echo / Examiner nearly always send their photographer to these events, especially when politicians are attending. Plenty of photographic evidence of who and what was there exists but it may not be prudent for them to release it.

Always easy to spend other people's money. A €13k retirement bash paid by the tax payer. Shameful.
