I propose to take Questions Nos. 157 and 158 together.
TU Dublin advertised these senior posts to internal and external applicants on 15 December 2020 with a closing date of 18 January 2021.
Once it became apparent that sanction was required, TU Dublin submitted a number of documents as part of a business case seeking approval for a senior management team in the first half of 2021, with the first formal submissions seeking sanction received by DFHERIS in March 2021. There was then further engagement prior to a more detailed proposal being submitted in May 2021. Following analysis of the business case and proposal submitted, DFHERIS and DPENDPDR granted sanction for the Vice President and Faculty Dean posts in July 2021.
