 In November 2014 the Scottish Government published a consultation document in which it declared its intention to introduce a statute implementing key aspects of the Prondzynski governance review.In May 2018 an internal review was launched after a whistleblower flagged that RGU's newly-appointed Vice-Principal for Research, Gordon McConnell, a senior academic and formerly the Head of the Office of the President at DCU, was co-director with Prondzynski in the company holding Prondzynski's family estate (on sale for around 13.5 million euro), and this was not disclosed under the RGU "conflict of interest" policy.Although Prondzynski had a contractual obligation to disclose it, the information had in fact been in the public domain since 2009, and was accessible to anyone by a free search in the Irish register of companies.
