The president and deputy president of the University of Limerick have announced the creation of a “strategic governance committee” to deal with “outstanding issues” at the institution.

Earlier on Thursday, multiple sources within UL suggested that the deputy president and provost of the University Professor Shane Kilcommins had vacated his posts in the wake of the college’s appearance at the Public Accounts Committee last week.
