No more action over UL severance pay for ex-staff

No further action is being taken in relation to University of Limerick’s use of severance packages for former staff.

The decision by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) follows receipt of a second report into matters at UL concerned with finances, governance, and HR practices.

The HEA asked for a more focused review by ex-president of Institute of Technology Sligo, Richard Thorn, of the rehire and consultancy arrangements for certain members of staff who received severance packages from the university.
