Dr Andrew Stewart brought a High Court challenge to the University of Limerick’s refusal to grant him tenure, alleging it failed to consider his dyslexia. The Irish Examiner reported on 6 December 2021 that the judge had stayed the decision to end his employment pending further court order.

Stewart sought judicial review of the refusal of progression across the merit bar. The judge granted him permission to bring the challenge, and the case was due back in court in January.
