Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick

9:30 am

Mr. John Kelly:

That depends very much on what the advisers were engaged to do. As outlined, they were preliminary assessments. Anyone who does a preliminary assessment is going to bind themselves in such a way as to give the university indemnities to say that everything is in order. At preliminary assessment level, I do not think that the university would have any recourse. I do not think any professional adviser would put themselves in a position where they would be liable in such situation.
