UL boss convenes meeting over €2m payouts

An audit of nearly €2m worth of severance payments has led the University of Limerick’s new president to call for an extraordinary meeting of its highest decision-making body.

UL paid out a total of €1,903,833 in settlements to 57 former employees within the past decade.

All universities are obliged to notify the Department of Education and Skills before any severance terms are approved.
