- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)
Verona Murphy: Reading the report in the Sunday Independentabout rescinding students' awards was disturbing. I suppose my question is for the provost. This matter goes to UL's reputation. When was Professor Kilcommins first aware of this issue?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)
Verona Murphy: When did Professor Kilcommins become provost?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)
Verona Murphy: There is an historical whistleblower who, in 2017, informed the previous provost that there potentially were serious weaknesses within the records system dating back to the early 2000s. The independent review found that the issue was worthy of attention and was being examined by UL. Clearly, that did not happen.

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)
Verona Murphy: What was that legal advice?

Verona Murphy: How long after the awards was that? How long were these students awarded?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)
