On Monday 25th September, the University of Limerick was announced as one of 5 recipients of HEA Performance Funding in recognition of its outstanding contribution to national strategic priorities and policies. UL was awarded €1.3m in recognition of the impact of the REPPP Project’s Greentown Project. The Greentown Project works in partnership with the Department of Justice, Community-based Organisations and Statutory Agencies to reduce the influence of crime networks on children and their families. At an award ceremony in the South East Technological University in Carlow on Monday, the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Simon Harris TD stated that the “Greentown project in University of Limerick has been transformational in helping children and their families in their communities.” The Ceremony was attended by members of the REPPP Team, Provost Professor Shane Kilcommins and members of partner organisations.
