Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: Is there any particular reason for that apart from the obvious one of why the witnesses are here today?

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: From the perspective of the committee and on this point, I would argue that within five months of today, the witnesses might be back before us to discuss matters when the Comptroller and Auditor General gets the report done on those accounts given what we are discussing at length here today and just last May. I think we will need to look at those accounts in more detail. Turning to the...

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: I appreciate that and that is true.

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: What I am really looking for is a collective figure. Mr. Kelly was right when he said that five such disclosures would be extremely high in any organisation, I presume, and that is a warning sign in itself. Prior to the year previous, since before all the purchasing and UL turned into some kind of property mogul, that was the problem. All these disclosures were being made. Who was the...

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

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.

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?
