University of Limerick has said it is aiming to lodge a planning submission for its landmark city centre campus by the end of 2023 and that it is now “fully engaged” in developing a masterplan on the site.

The university is collaborating with Limerick City and County Council on the proposals at the former Dunnes Stores building on Sarsfield St in the city, the acquisition of which has been subject of scrutiny over the price paid for it.
