UL offered RTÉ on-campus location for Lyric FM, university president claims

The President of the University of Limerick, Professor Des Fitzgerald, informed RTÉ two months ago that UL had identified a location on campus to accommodate the Lyric FM studios, which are to be closed as part of a cost cutting plan at the public service broadcaster.

Last week RTÉ confirmed, following a leak to The Irish Times, that it was planning to shut Lyric’s Limerick base and relocate its presence between Cork and Dublin.
