Third Level Reform
Dail Éireann — 2021-10-13
============================================================

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor (FF), Carlow-Kilkenny

I thank the Minister and we will be delighted to have him in Carlow in November. A technological university will be so important for the south east, particularly for my area of Carlow. As I said, we have two excellent third level institutions and the integration of Carlow College, St. Patrick's into the technological university is so important. As the Minister knows, I have met the Taoiseach on this and I had another meeting with him this morning, so the Minister knows how hard I am working on this and I deliver a 100% commitment. The Taoiseach is behind me so he can confirm I spoke to him this morning. I thank the Minister and the Taoiseach for their support.
