Application for the Technological University of the South East The application has now officially been lodged for the merger of Waterford IT and IT Carlow. The merger would see the Technological University for the South East formed, with major campuses in Waterford, Carlow and in Wexford. The news comes despite WIT’s TUI members last week voting against the terms of the merger. However, it’s understood there was a low turnout for that ballot and members are now to be re-balloted. Commenting on today’s historic occasion John Moore, Chair of IT Carlow Governing Body said: “Submitting the application for technological university designation is a major milestone in our decade-long work to create a TU of international standing in our region which will, above all, benefit our students and successive generations of students.”
