- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
University of Limerick Financial Report 2020 (12 May 2022) Brian Stanley: This is a simple case of a board of governors sitting there and making the decision to spend more than €8 million without any written documentation in front it and nobody, not even Ms Harney, asked whether there was a second or third valuation. That is the point I am making. Does Ms Harney accept that was a huge mistake?

University of Limerick Financial Report 2020 (12 May 2022) Brian Stanley: Surely the lesson is that the governing body would ask to see at least two valuations from reputable companies on the island of Ireland.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
University of Limerick Financial Report 2020 (12 May 2022) Brian Stanley: I accept that but the Irish Universities Association's code of governance would require UL to have valuations done.

- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
University of Limerick Financial Report 2020 (12 May 2022) Brian Stanley: I am puzzled as to why none of the experienced people on the board, of whom there are many, saw fit to do this. Ms Harney is telling us that none of them, including herself, saw fit to do it. No valuation was seen; not even one. I find that incredible. Some members have indicated that they want to come back in briefly. I call Deputy Devlin.

- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
