Business leader calls for graduate medical school in UL

IBEC’s Mid-West president Damien Clancy last night called on Minister for Education and Science Mary Hanafin to support a graduate-entry medical school for the University of Limerick.

“A new medical school at UL would be a great boost to the health service in the region, but it would also have many other benefits for the wider economy,” the managing director of Aughinish Alumina said.

He said such a faculty would encourage further development of industry.
