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

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I thank Deputy Niamh Smyth for her question and for coming along on my virtual visit to Cavan Institute. I am really looking forward to visiting the facility in person. I fully recognise the need to progress that capital project and I am very eager to work with the Deputy and her Oireachtas colleagues who represent Cavan and Monaghan in order to get that done. Cavan Institute is an example of best practice and I am already telling people about and using examples of what I learned on my visit. I refer to the pre-law course as one example in that regard. Ann Marie, John and the whole team there are doing a great job. I know the Deputy worked for the ETB, so let us meet on the capital project and try to make progress on it in the coming months.
