It will comprise a student population of more than 14,000 and a staff complement of approximately 1,200 people across six campuses in Limerick, Athlone, Clonmel, Ennis and Thurles.
TÚS, in Irish, denotes a beginning or start for the new university while the inclusion of the Midlands and Midwest in the name represents the principal regions, whose geography and provenance are linked by the River Shannon.
