Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick

9:30 am

Professor Shane Kilcommins:

I agree with the Deputy in terms of his frustration. It is very frustrating for us too, as the president has mentioned. We have to follow through the law framework. We will get out in front of it but it is going to take a little more time. We will be able to address those findings and we will be able to put those steps in place. It is really important for the university that it gets into the city, like we see with UCC in Cork city and Trinity in Dublin. It is vital that we are able to do that but we have to go through the process on this. We cannot unring a bell but we have to follow through now. Where we are at the moment is that this is stuck in session. Until that is completed, we cannot progress this as the Deputy would wish.
