Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-03-10
============================================================

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I thank Deputy Crowe for making me aware of these issues. I am very happy to engage with him, the local authority in Clare and other appropriate stakeholders in this regard. Expanding higher education is going to be a core requirement in terms of meeting demand and preparing for economic recovery. If there is no room for UL to expand in Limerick and it wants to look elsewhere, I would be very willing to engage with the Deputy and other parties to see whether we can assist in that regard. Perhaps we could meet to discuss the matter further.
