Former University of Limerick (UL) president Kerstin Mey is seeking a High Court injunction preventing the university from proceeding with any reinvestigation in connection with claims she misled the Dáil Public Accounts Committee (PAC) or a previous investigation officer.

Prof Mey, currently UL professor of visual culture, resigned as president in 2024 as part of a settlement agreement after she was threatened with disciplinary action over due diligence and adherence to policies during the university’s 2022 purchase of a 20-house development at Rhebogue, Co Limerick, for rent to 80 postgrad and research students.
