Munster tech university plan gets mixed reactions
The plan announced yesterday by Cork Institute of Technology (CIT), Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT) and Institute of Technology Tralee (ITT) would see them come under a new title of the Munster Technological University (MTU), with a combined total of 24,000 students.
But a former mayor of Waterford has claimed this and other groupings in the Dublin and border, midlands and west (BMW) region are vying unfairly with Waterford Institute of Technology’s joint bid with Institute of Technology Carlow (ITC) for TU status.
