UL announce appointment of Barry as next president
The 49-year-old native of Mallow has been vice-president (academic) and registrar at the university since May 2004 and will begin the job on May 1, replacing Prof Roger Downer who stepped down because of ill health last April.
Prof Barry joined the UL staff as first holder of the chair of statistics a decade ago, moving from a job lecturing in statistics at University College Cork.
