Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Joseph Duffy:
Sometimes if funding is top-sliced, it might be equated with a number of counselling hours, in that institutions might be told they are getting 100 hours. Jigsaw would suggest that it should be looked at in the round and how that money could be spent in a preventative way. If it is dedicated just for hours, potentially a whole-of-campus system might not be developed. It is about a range of supports that could be supported through consistent year-on-year funding.
