News bites – 3rd level libraries, Tayto and Burren walks

Thank you, Kaye, say Tayto fans

TAYTO’S Spring Onion flavour will be back on shelves on August 24, thanks to Kaye Morrissey, of Limerick Institute of Technology.

Kaye launched an appeal on 2FM’s Gerry Ryan Show when she told him she desperately missed the “intensely delicious flavour” and demanded live on air for a ‘return of the pack’! 

The makers of Tayto gave the go-ahead to re-start production. The first batch is scheduled to be on shelves by August 24.

New libraries for UL and LIT

LIMERICK’S two third-level institutions are to get new libraries and an information centre as part of a bundle of public-private partnership (PPP) projects which have been sent to the market by the Minister for Education and Science, Batt O’Keeffe TD.

The University of Limerick (UL) will get a new library which will be 6,600sq/m in size and accommodate 700 students.

Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT) will get a library and information centre spanning 4,100sq/m and accommodating 800 students.

The projects have been handed over to the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) under the PPP plan.

 

Walking routes at the Burren

THREE new walking routes for North Clare were launched by Éamon Ó Cuív TD, Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, in conjunction with The Walks Scheme and Fáilte Ireland’s Walkers Welcome Initiative.  

These routes are part of the Burren Walks Project, which is designed to increase the appeal of the North Clare area as an activity holiday destination and to enhance walking facilities for local users.  Ranging from 9km to 26km, the new looped walks are the Carron Loop, the Ballyvaughan Wood Loop and the Black Head Loop.
