Discussions on a proposed merger between the Tipperary Institute and Limerick Institute of Technology commenced in late 2009 and they have recently completed a scoping document which clarifies the issues that will need to be addressed including that of proposed title for the Tipperary campus. The proposed merger has the support and agreement of the Governing Boards of both institutions and they are currently working to a target of September 2011 for completion of the arrangements for a formal merger.
