Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Jimmy Deenihan:

The Deputy raised some very important points. MTU is a leader on mental health and well-being supports, and that has been recognised. It went national on the support mechanisms it has. Members might have seen that on the television and so on. It is very much part of the policy of MTU. The students' union also played a very important role in formulating that policy and the support mechanisms for the students. MTU is very well recognised as having a policy on that. Of course, it can be improved in the future. The healthy university status is a very important one to arrive at. All TUs should strive for that so they are designated healthy universities.

What was the last point the Deputy made again?
