Unwise to say report vindicates UL’s name

The Thorn report makes 36 findings on issues at UL, but it will take another review in a few years to see if they’ve been tackled, writes Education Correspondent Niall Murray.

The president of University of Limerick, Des Fitzgerald, says the Thorn report has drawn a line under a number of issues raised in the media and in the Oireachtas over the past year and more.

That might be the case if issues examined by Richard Thorn were deemed to have improved, gone away, and no longer a problem.
