Brian Stanley: Professor Mey, it is enormously frustrating for the Deputy. He has asked a question in a number of ways and is trying to get an answer to it. Perhaps it is a question for Mr. Kelly or the director of finance. Will someone please answer the question? Did the university pay above market value for the site? We know there are two other valuations, including one the university obtained....

Brian Stanley: Let us put it this way on the point of when this was bought. A company with a turnover of €2 million or €3 million per year that spends a couple of hundred thousand euro on something would get a number of prices and independent valuations. Can Mr. O'Connor clarify whether the valuation by the council was from a professional valuer? That is my understanding. There might be a...

Brian Stanley: Before bringing in the next witnesses, I want to ask Professor Mey something in relation to the McKenna report. I did not want to hold up the questioner at the time. The thought that crossed my mind was whether the university is willing to supply that to us with the names redacted on it. Would that be helpful with regard to making it easier to supply the McKenna report to us?

I want to make sure we have absolute clarity on this. Is the governing authority the supreme body in the university, similar to the elected chamber in a county council, the board of directors of a company, or the board of an education and training board, for...

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)
Brian Stanley: The site we are talking about is 0.3 ha or just under 0.8 acres. That is what was presented to the governing authority. Is that correct?
