The University of Limerick has closed its campus to the public due to the coronavirus crisis.
Barriers will be placed at entrances to UL, and there will only be entry for listed personnel staff and residents via its main gate.
The university says the measure is in line with the latest government restrictions and aims to keep the community safe.
In the interest of public health, as we battle the #Covid19 pandemic together, UL must unfortunately close public access to the campus. Barriers will be put in place across all entrance paths and roads and entry will be via the main gate only.
