SIPTU Congratulates Members For Success Of Irish Universities
SIPTU has congratulated the staff of Dublin City University, the University of Limerick and NUI Maynooth for their success in ensuring their institutions were judged to be among the world’s top 100 universities established within the last 50 years.
SIPTU Education Sector Organiser, Louise O’Reilly, said: "It is a credit to our members who work in many different roles in these three universities that they were judged to be among the world’s top educational institutions in the Times Higher Education (THE) 100 Under 50 rankings."
"For a university to be a successful place of learning involves a number of factors. Essential among these factors are the professionalism and dedication of the university staff. I would, in particular, like to commend the work of the academic, research, technical, administrative, security, cleaning and catering staff of these universities. The importance of their contribution to an educational institution’s success is sometimes not fully appreciated."
