University of Limerick’s (UL) appearance before the Public Accounts Committee to explain its finances looks set to be delayed after a legal objection was lodged against a report into the institution.

The PAC was recently informed by university president Kerstin Mey that a legal threat of “interlocutory action” had been made by a key individual named in the report conducted by consultants KPMG.
