LIT withdraws from technological university venture

Plans for a technological university in Munster look in doubt after Limerick Institute of Technology withdrew from the proposed collaboration.

Although it said it was pausing further development of the planned joint venture with Cork and Tralee ITs, it did not say for what period, or whether it intends to return to the project at all.

Instead, LIT said, it has decided to prioritise collaboration with partner colleges University of Limerick, Mary Immaculate College, and IT Tralee.
