Beware of these Irish "universities" ! (scam)

From the Times Higher Education Supplement:

"Steps are being taken to see if five Irish companies calling themselves universities can be deregistered by the Companies Registration Office in Dublin....

The five are the Dublin Metropolitan University, Irish International University of Europa (IIUE), European University of Ireland, Irish University Business School and Warnborough University.

The vice-chancellor of Dublin Metropolitan University is Desmond Fleming, who claims to be the 17th Baronet of Killan. But Hugh Prescott, one of the editors of Burke's Peerage, said the title was not genuine.

The Irish International University of Europa has an elaborate website and claims to be approved by the European Recognition Council of Ireland, which has no standing in the academic community."
