College president warns on overcrowding

ONE of the country’s leading teacher-training colleges is intolerably overcrowded, its college president warned yesterday.

President of the Mary Immaculate College of Education in Limerick Dr Peadar Cremin said the college caters for 2,500 students on a campus designed for 750.

“Frankly, we are in an increasingly intolerable situation,” Dr Cremin said while addressing a graduation ceremony.
