The new Newman College needs help. The Memores are part of this effort.
And here is the Ave Maria report:
A site with appropriate buildings has been identified in the Cork area, says Healy, but adds that at least $8 million must be raised for the project by the end of September. Currently about $1 million has been committed, most of it from an anonymous donor in the United States.

There are about 40 million people in the U.S. who have Irish heritage, he says, and he’ll be targeting those who are “grateful for the faith handed down by their Irish ancestors and grateful for what Ireland has done for the world.”
