Professor Don Barry:

We have a relocation policy which is part of our effort to recruit the best candidates to come to UL.

The policy provides for an upper limit of €4,500 to cover relocation expenses incurred in moving to Limerick. Claims are fully vouched, with receipts for expenditure incurred. The expenses covered by the relocation policy are the cost of temporary accommodation in Limerick while seeking permanent accommodation, the cost associated with the moving of the person's belongings from his or her current location to Limerick and travel costs incurred in bringing his or her family from their current location to Limerick. On more than a few occasions our ability within the policy to assist in that fashion has been the difference between somebody coming and not coming to Limerick.
