PAC rejects recommendations of report into UL spend on former Dunnes Stores building

UL informed the PAC  in March that it was not in a position to share the final report due to a legal action

It is understood that the recommendations have also been shared with both the Higher Education Authority and the Department of Further and Higher Education.

The recommendations of a long-awaited report into the University of Limerick (UL) have been rejected by the Public Accounts Committee, despite its membership repeatedly calling for sight of the report.

Consultants KPMG were commissioned last year to investigate the circumstances which led to UL acquiring the old Dunnes Stores building in Limerick city for €8m in 2019, despite it having been valued at just €3m two years previously.
