Audiology students left in 'academic limbo' to return to studies

A class of audiology students, who were left in 'academic limbo' after their course was axed, will return to their studies next month.

A settlement has been reached in the High Court between Athlone IT, the HSE, and the body responsible for funding.

The case was taken by Megan Munnelly and fellow student Diarmuid O’Connor after the course was cancelled due to placement and funding issues.

But, following lengthy discussions behind closed doors, a deal has been made which allows the students continue their four year course.
