The Deputy has had the same experience. Councillors in my area raise this issue with me.

On 3 October, we will engage with the University of Limerick to resume consideration of the 2021-2022 financial statements and the Comptroller and Auditor General's Special Report 117 on property acquisitions in Limerick city, which was published last Friday. It had been intended to examine the university’s 2022-2023 financial statements but I understand that these will not be ready in time. Specific areas of interest flagged for this meeting include governance and associated due diligence of the university’s purchase of the Limerick city centre site in 2019 – the former Dunnes Stores site - and houses for student accommodation in Rhebogue in 2023.

There is a change that I want to agree regarding the meeting on 10 October, when we were due to meet the Land Development Agency. We have discussed bringing in the OPW with regard to the bike shed and other matters. Is it agreed that we will bring in the OPW on 10 October and we will put the LDA back to a later date? Agreed. The secretariat will notify the LDA of that.
