They told him he could bring his family. He couldn't. The rule is obviously bullshit but if it existed they should have known about it via the GardaĆ.
Although I do not have all the facts, I believe a single point of contact at UCC did not review all the matters related to an American researcher coming to Ireland for a PhD programme and that the potential student landed in Ireland with incomplete documentation.
