The new Technological University for the Mid-West and Midlands is expected to comprise a student population of up to 15,000 and a staff complement of approximately 1,200 people across six campuses – Thurles, Clonmel, Ennis, Athlone and two in Limerick.

Minister of State for Further Education, Niall Collins, says it’ll be a major boost for the region.

“Today Minister Simon Harris and I will speak to the Presidents of Limerick Institute of Technology and Athlone Institute of Technology who have lodged their formal application to become a Technological University.”

“It’s really good news for Limerick, for the Mid-West and the Midlands and it will really advance the progression of the Technological University projects.”
