Also it's £24k which in terms of a University decoration budget is small potatoes. If you were telling me it was going to cost £240k I would definitely say the money would be better spent elsewhere.
...I think that Niamh might approve the potato statue, an honour that hasn’t been bestowed yet for some reason...
