Alan Kelly: I want to ask everybody here from UL a general question. In my previous interaction with Professor Kilcommins, I found him to be a very valid and considered witness.

Is there anybody here from...

Alan Kelly: Does Mr. Field have a different view from Professor Kilcommins? Better still, will he outline the concerns in the memo and when it was sent - briefly, as I am caught for time?

Alan Kelly: Mr. Field's evidence is compelling and very good but he would not disagree with my opening statement.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick (9 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: Okay, but as regards the process this went through, Professor Kilcommins agreed with me that the circumstances by which this decision was made at various meetings and the presentation of information created a strong possibility of a certain outcome. Would that be fair enough? Would that be a fairer, more diplomatic way of saying it?

I live among people who work and go to college in UL. I drove my children around UL and...
