“The first raising of the Munster Technological University (MTU) flag, on its six campuses across the South West, represents a new dawn for Higher Education in the country,” said Prof Maggie Cusack, president of MTU.
Meanwhile, MTU workers from the TUI union held a silent protest today to highlight a number of issues raised by staff with management at the new university. Their grievances relate to issues concerning recruitment and staff complaints procedures.
