State urged to deliver university for south-east

WATERFORD is fortunate to have one of the best Institutes of Technology in the country but it’s not enough, the city’s mayor claims.

As Waterford Institute of Technology director Kieran R Byrne, prepares to make a submission to the Government on the merits of a university for the south-east, city mayor Hilary Quinlan says he will do all in his power to ensure a university is delivered to the region.

“The creation of a university of the south-east is critically important to this region - a point again underlined by Goodbody Economic Consultants in their recent report,” he said.
