To ask the Minister for Education and Skills to provide an update on the provision of school bus transport for the 2024-25 academic year for secondary school students travelling from Kilmore, County Wexford into Wexford town; if a resolution similar to the one recently found for students travelling from Gowran, County Kilkenny into Kilkenny city has been determined; and if she will make a...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick (9 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: I say to Mr. Wall that was a somewhat a concerning engagement. All I can say is that it brings to mind the expression, "A poor workman blames his tools." I will leave it at that. I want to deal with the Rhebogue acquisition. I am concerned on a number of fronts. I realise we do not have present all the actors we previously engaged with but I certainly remember robust engagement,...

Verona Murphy: Was it brought to the attention of the governing authority?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick (9 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: Did that invalidate the contract, or did it go back to the governing authority for reappraisal?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick (9 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: Was that revisited at any point? It was framed in that regard and I understand it was passed to move to the next level. It was accepted as a proposal.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick (9 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: For that sequence of events to have occurred, there had to be a misrepresentation of what had occurred prior to moving to the next step. If Professor Kilcommins is saying it was suggested that there should be further discussion, it indicates nothing was agreed and that it was to be revisited. However, Professor Kilcommins is telling me it went to the next step, to the governing authority,...

Verona Murphy: After the governing authority meeting?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick (9 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: I would imagine that nothing was progressed in this way ever, never mind in UL, to be honest. I do not have much time, so I want to come back to the HEA on this. I understand what Dr. Wall has said about the approving authority being UL. At some level, the HEA must have been aware of this transaction.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick (9 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: Is that because the HEA did not inquire?
