Efforts continue to establish a new technological university

Efforts to establish a new technological university for the region are continuing with the presidents of three third-level colleges having resumed onsite, face-to-face meetings for the first time since the Covid-19 enforced shutdown.

 

The presidents of Letterkenny IT, IT Sligo, and Galway/Mayo Institute of Technology had been meeting weekly online for the past six months.
