UL's new president 'appalled' by revelations on RTE programme

The new President of the University of Limerick Dr Des Fitzgerald has said he was "appalled" by the revelations on last night's RTÉ Investigates programme about governance and management issues at the university.

In the role just three weeks, Dr Fitzgerald has asked the Department of Education to carry out an independent review led by Dr Richard Thorn, which he said he hoped would re-build trust in the institution.
