- Public Accounts Committee: University College Cork and University of Limerick: Financial Statements (22 Jun 2017)
Alan Kelly: Approximately half of the university's funding is from the taxpayer. The loan will be paid back by UCC so the taxpayer will have to fund 47% -let us say 50% -of that.

Alan Kelly: Why?
- Public Accounts Committee: University College Cork and University of Limerick: Financial Statements (22 Jun 2017)
Alan Kelly: Ultimately, this all goes into the pot. Let us look at a pie chart on how the college is funded. The witnesses have said that 47% of it is funded by the taxpayer. Is that right? The totality of the college.
- Public Accounts Committee: University College Cork and University of Limerick: Financial Statements (22 Jun 2017)
Alan Kelly: Let us not split hairs and get down to Bauhaus basic financial management. UCC will pay back a loan over 20 years for this and 47% of the funding that goes into UCC comes from the taxpayer. Proportionality shows that 47% of this loan will be paid by the taxpayer.

Alan Kelly: But it all goes into the one pot. Can the witnesses not follow what I have said?
- Public Accounts Committee: University College Cork and University of Limerick: Financial Statements (22 Jun 2017)
Alan Kelly: Fine. Ultimately, what I am driving at here is the statement made by the president of UCC at the beginning that no public funds were used in this matter.

Alan Kelly: I might ask questions to the HEA. Why is the HEA board left without so many board members over the last six months? It is absolutely incredible.

Alan Kelly: That is not my understanding.
- Public Accounts Committee: University College Cork and University of Limerick: Financial Statements (22 Jun 2017)
Alan Kelly: Why was there such a gap in filling these positions? Why did it take so long, and how can the Committee of Public Accounts have confidence that a board that does not have its full membership and to which the Minister has not bothered to make appointments to is doing its job properly, given the fact that universities and third level institutions are demanding more taxpayers' money despite all...

Alan Kelly: My first question is to the clerk to the committee. This committee wrote to the Secretary General of the Department to ask several questions. I was not a member of the committee at the time. Was there any answer from the Department? I do not need an answer now but I would like the clerk to check it out, and if there was no reply, to ask why not.
