The appointment of former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern as a visiting professor to NUI Maynooth has met with opposition from a group of academics and students. The campaigners, who have collected up to 1,000 signatures, oppose the appointment in light of the evidence heard at the Mahon Tribunal concerning Mr Ahern's finances. The unpaid appointment was announced in March and university president Professor John Hughes has responded to the opposition by calling on the rule of innocence until proven guilty.
