Technological Universities
Dail Éireann — 2026-07-02
============================================================

John McGuinness (FF), Carlow-Kilkenny

During the early negotiations to establish a university in the south east, Kilkenny played a key role. I was associated with those negotiations, many years after which South East Technological University, SETU, was established. What steps are being taken to expand the courses offered in Kilkenny city relative to the university? Does the Minister consider a Norman museum as something appropriate that could be championed and provided?
