Patrick O'Donovan: The HEIs as independent entities have HR and IR mechanisms and scaffolding to protect individuals and to investigate, where appropriate, if people bring allegations or any sort of complaint against an academic or non-academic member of staff. I am just wondering if it is on the basis of gender equality plans that the Senator has the greatest level of difficulty with this situation or is it...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Current and Future Plans for Further and Higher Education: Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (9 Oct 2024)
Patrick O'Donovan: I did not say it is a fringe issue, and to characterise it as that is a misrepresentation. The Senator can read back over the transcript of the debate. I never characterised it as that. To be fair, the Senator has not enunciated what are the positives of the charter and the goals associated with it.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Current and Future Plans for Further and Higher Education: Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (9 Oct 2024)

Patrick O'Donovan: Any academic in Ireland has a right to recourse through his or her employer if they feel they need it. Bullying is a very serious issue. The Senator mentioned the word "bullied".

They know too that the HEIs collaborating with the HEA have worked on this subject over a long time. I think there was a review of this issue in the early 2000s. To be honest about it, the fundamental question the Senator asked me is if I can give guarantees regarding career progression or...
