Well we had somebody from the board of the FAI here this morning.

On 29 February, we will meet with Tusla on its financial statements for 2022. On 7 March, we will engage with Inland Fisheries Ireland regarding financial statements for 2022. Following the March recess, we will meet with An Garda Síochána regarding its appropriation accounts 2022 and specifically regarding Vote 20 – An Garda Síochána. There is one area I want to flag, and which we should add to the list of the work programme, is the University of Limerick. There are issues arising and being reported on regarding the purchase of 20 houses in Limerick. Further issues are arising regarding matters we have discussed with the University of Limerick before. Obviously, we have not scrutinised the issues that have been highlighted yet so I want to try to be fair but serious issues are being thrown up relating to this 20-house student village in Rhebogue, Limerick city. These houses are in Castletroy, 2 km from the university. The issues that are highlighted there, which I have been contacted about as well, are of a serious nature, Given that and other matters such as the Dunnes Stores site around which issues are arising, we need to bring representatives before the committee. If members are agreeable, I propose we bring in representatives from the university fairly early.
