Nothing to show ‘anything illegal’ at UL

The president of the University of Limerick has said there is “no evidence of anything illegal” in any of the allegations against the university.

The allegations are being examined by a State- appointed reviewer Dr Richard Thorn. The former president of Sligo Institute of Technology is probing up to two dozen complaints made against UL by current and former staff, in areas of finance, human resources, and governance.

A report is due in the autumn, with any corrective measures against UL to be taken by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) and the Department of Education.
