Limerick City and County Council warmly welcome the announcement made by Minister Patrick O’Donovan on Friday, which marks a significant milestone for the University of Limerick and the entire region.
The introduction of new direct entry undergraduate medicine programme at UL will not only strengthen the university’s reputation as a centre for academic and research excellence but will also provide a much-needed boost to healthcare services in the region.
"As Mayor of Limerick, I am particularly proud of the positive impact this programme will have on our community, both by attracting top talent and supporting our hospitals and health services. This programme will inspire a new generation of medical professionals who will receive world-class training here in Limerick, further enhancing our city’s standing in education and innovation." Mayor of Limerick, John Moran commented.
Director General at Limerick City and County Council, Dr Pat Daly added:
“This is a transformative development for Limerick. The University of Limerick’s expanded medical education offering will bolster our health infrastructure and create new opportunities for students locally and nationally. It is a testament to UL’s forward-thinking approach and our commitment to supporting the community.”
Limerick City and County Council congratulate the University of Limerick on this achievement and look forward to the far-reaching benefits it will bring to the city and beyond.
