The University of Limerick (UL) has commissioned consultants KPMG to run a review of the university’s acquisition of a building in the city allegedly for more than double its value.
In May 2019, UL purchased the Dunnes Stores site on Sarsfield's Bridge, a former shopping centre covering 59,000 sq ft in Limerick city centre, for about €8m.
