University of Limerick president Kerstin Mey to resign

Prof Kerstin Mey is resigning as president of University of Limerick, three months after she took sick leave in the fallout from a botched property deal.

“Prof Mey shall resign from her role as president of the University of Limerick,” UL chancellor Prof Brigid Laffan told staff in an email note on Friday afternoon.Three women given suspended sentences in connection with murder of showjumper Katie SimpsonUL acquired the 20 homes from a private developer in 2022 and 80 postgraduate students have been living in the properties since October 2023.

The report by former civil servant Niamh O’Donoghue found the cost structure presented to UL leaders was not “clear and consistent” with the August 2022 contract.Although UL’s governing authority agreed to pay €10.9 million, her report found the price rose by €1.08 million in the final contract signed only nine days later.

The affair was particularly damaging because UL was already set to take a €3 million charge in its 2022-2023 accounts after overspending five years ago on a former Dunnes Stores site in Limerick for a new city-centre campus.
