Cormac Devlin: To be clear, then, because we are talking about a change before all these reports, and I will come to the cost of those in a second, which will probably be more flabbergasting, in terms of the actual structure of UL today, if somebody has information or wishes to share instances of bad practice in the organisation, who will that person be disclosing the information to?

Cormac Devlin: Are the same individuals who would have received protected disclosures in the past, and I am not saying they were the decision-makers on those disclosures, still in place today?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick
Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City
(3 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: I am limited on time. In the context where the same individuals would have received protected disclosures in the past, and, clearly, there was a systems failure somewhere along the line there, has this situation been reviewed in the short term to ensure it has improved?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick
Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City

Cormac Devlin: That is correct.

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City
(3 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: Given the little discrepancy here, to say the least, I want to raise the issue of severance. The Comptroller and Auditor General's statement refers to severance, which the university claims is not a severance, yet in Professor Laffan's opening statement she refers to the former president resigning. When is a severance not a severance?

Cormac Devlin: Is it correct that the information was not even given to the governing authority at the time?

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City
(3 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: I thank Mr. McCarthy for the clarification. In terms of the various reports, am I correct in saying there was one from KPMG, one from Deloitte and one from Mazars? Is it correct that the KPMG report has been published? In terms of the cost of the reports – the HEA is involved and I will talk to it in a moment about that-----

(3 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: I wish to ask about the timeframe for those reports to be finalised. From the information supplied, the HEA provided about 50% of the funding to UL. We must ensure we have a better culture. I hear what the chancellor says, that there will be a greater involvement from the HEA, which, if the witnesses recall, is one of the criticisms I made the last time we met. It is important there is...

Catherine Murphy: I was a member of the previous iteration of this committee. Representatives from the University of Limerick were before us repeatedly. Here we go again. It is a case of "fool me once". We get statements of contrition but I want to see evidence of change. I think it was at the last meeting of the Committee of Public Accounts that we dealt with the issue of the Dunnes Stores site. The...
