Former University of Limerick (UL) president Prof Kerstin Mey is seeking a High Court injunction preventing the university from proceeding with any reinvestigation in connection with claims she misled the Dáil Public Accounts Committee (Pac) or a previous investigation officer. Mey, in a sworn statement seeking the injunction, said this led to public controversy and a delegation from the university was invited to appear before the Pac on May 18th, 2023. In the meantime, another university delegation had met with the Pac. On Friday, Marcus Dowling, counsel for Mey, was granted permission for short service of injunction proceedings restraining a reinvestigation. Dowling said his client has told the defendant she will not be attending the meeting and would not be doing so.
