Catherine Connolly: It is a big university. We want to champion universities. They are essential. Are they not? They are essential on every level.
- Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2014-2015 (30 Mar 2017)
Catherine Connolly: Let us look at this. If the human resources department is not sufficiently staffed to deal with the issues arising, the university is left with a series of complaints where those who made the complaints are totally unhappy with the way that they are being dealt with. They were either suspended or have come to some sort of arrangement, which I see here but will not read out. It is stated...

- Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2014-2015 (30 Mar 2017)
Catherine Connolly: I am not querying Professor Barry on that matter. I am not using my time to go into one case. Professor Barry has set out what he has set out. Other things have been said to us. It is not my function to judge. It is only my function to check the processes. In that regard, I asked the price of this report, which was €69,000. I asked the price of the facilitator, Jane Williams....

Catherine Connolly: Professor Barry says that but I do not know that and I am allowed to ask questions. UL brought in a company that cost €70,000 and a facilitator. Professor Barry is not answering me and telling me how many other facilitators were brought in. When two people remain suspended for a very long time on full pay, one has to ask what is happening with the human resources department and what...

Catherine Connolly: On the separate foundation and that, a page of information has been provided. As with University College Cork, there was a recommendation from the Comptroller and Auditor General. Am I right or am I wrong? Is the Comptroller and Attorney General letting this one go, that is, that there is no control? At this point I am getting exotic.

Catherine Connolly: I will come back to that matter but this is my final question. Have any conflicts of interest come to Professor Barry's attention in terms of any of the companies operating? He listed out quite a number. Have any issues come to or been brought to his attention or that of any relevant committee?
- Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2014-2015 (30 Mar 2017)
Catherine Connolly: Absolutely not?
