Waterford Univeristy Status – Media Coverage

Over the past few weeks, the long suffering case for University status for Waterford Institute of Technology has attracted a lot of attention, principally due to the publication of the long awaited report by the Government-appointed independent expert Dr. Jim Port.

Here are some of the more prominent articles and related discussions that I have encountered during this time (in reverse chronological order):
