Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick

9:00 am

Mr. John Kelly:

It is used for a fabrication laboratory for the school of architecture. It is used as a public space in conjunction with Limerick City and County Council. The +CityxChange project is based there as well. As I said, approximately one third of the building is back in use. The question for the university is the extent to which it should invest in this building in meanwhile use if the ultimate plan is to redevelop it or demolish it. That is a fine line. How much does one spend to put a building back into repair if the ultimate plan is to rebuild?
