A bid by a former Human Resources Director with the University of Limerick's to halt an investigation into his alleged role in the suspected misuse of funds regarding the college's pension scheme has been dismissed by the High Court.

The application was made on behalf of Dr Thomas Foy, who claimed that the continuation of the university's investigation would have resulted in him suffering "irreparable reputational damage."
