A new logo.
A ‘Global relations Strategy’.
€3.71 million on consultants fees.
How’s that going down?
“For me, it’s not only the new logo, or indeed this entire project, that I object to, but also what its adoption would represent: the hypocrisy of a university that claims to be proud of its history and traditions, yet aims to hide them in commercial exercise – a university that

Mr Purcell has been invited to appear before the Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality on Thursday to answer questions in relation to his department’s handling of allegations made by Sgt Maurice McCabe, which prompted the publication of the Guerin Report last week.
It’s being reported that chairman of the committee, Fine Gael TD David Stanton sent a letter of invitation to Mr Purcell last Friday.
RTE reports:
Members want to discuss the fallout from the Guerin Report, administration issues in the department and the resignation of the former garda commissioner Martin Callinan.
