Verona Murphy: That is fine and that is the answer I was expecting. I understand Professor Laffan was only appointed as chancellor in November 2023.

Verona Murphy: Did Professor Kilcommins not raise concerns as to why he was here to answer for Rhebogue? As stated to our chairman previously, Mr. Flaherty was in the hotel with Professor Kilcommins the night before the meeting, on the morning of the meeting and after the meeting. Why was he not here to answer for Rhebhogue?

Verona Murphy: That is not what the president told us. When asked, the president said that he had a long-standing engagement and was not available. We took that in good faith. This is a statutory committee. My understanding is that was a blatant lie, if what Professor Kilcommins is saying is true.

Verona Murphy: It was not corrected until today, from what I know. I do not ever recall it being corrected or that there was a correction to the record. Was there a correction, Chair?

Verona Murphy: It may be but what is certainly not the position is that officers who should be here would avoid being here for any reason that is not divulged correctly. Does Professor Kilcommins believe the reason he was given to be true? Was that a plausible reason? Was there a disclosure?

Verona Murphy: Is that completed?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick (9 May 2024)
Verona Murphy: I still find it very unnerving that we find ourselves in a situation whereby Professor Kilcommins comes in and tells us that somebody was not present but it would appear that the reason given meant that the only hours he was unavailable were the hours that PAC was sitting.
