Congratulations to Limerick on their All-Ireland success and commiserations to Galway after a brilliant final.

A cracker of a goal from UL graduate and Fitzgibbon Cup player Cathal O’Neill was one of the standout moments of a memorable day that saw 26 UL students, graduates and alumni represent their counties with pride on the biggest stage.

Limerick abú 💚

Before becoming a lecturer in UL's School of Law, Dr Eddie Keane worked in factories, on building sites, and behind the wheel of a truck. He started college when he was 29, joining the very first class of UL's evening law degree in 1999.

Now, more than two decades later, he's graduated with a PhD examining the legal vulnerabilities of gig economy and casual workers.

"It's never too late," he says. "Most people think by 29 they're settled into a career. But it's never too late to take on a new challenge. The reward is worth the risk."
