Even after C&AG report on the madness at UL, there is never anyone to blame 

While there are signs of better governance in future, the Comptroller and Auditor General's damning report into UL's property dealings leaves plenty of unanswered questions

In 2019 UL overpaid by €3m for a property it didn’t need and hadn’t valued — the former Dunnes site at Sarsfield Bridge. Just three years later the university went one 'better' overpaying by €5.2m for houses that didn't have planning permission. Picture: True Media

‘Accountability’ is the word that repeatedly popped into my head when reviewing the report by the Comptroller and Auditor General into the madness of University of Limerick’s property acquisition ‘strategy’ between 2019 and 2022.

Accountability — as in, will there ever be any at UL?
