Irish Examiner view: University a big boost for south-west

The creation of the Munster Technological University, merging Cork Institute of Technology and Institute of Technology Tralee is being rightly hailed as an important development for the South-west, both in educational terms and in the impact it is expected to have on the region’s economy.
The new MTU will come into effect on January 1, 2021, after a draft ministerial order has been approved by both the Oireachtas which will also see the dissolution of both Cork IT and IT Tralee.
