Ms Treasa Fox:

It is the practicalities of several different faculties having induction. It goes back to the fact that our first year students are coming on campus when our second and subsequent years are already there. Even in terms of facilities, rooms and lecture theatres, we might not have the space to accommodate 600 first-year students for in-person induction because second-year and other students are already on campus when the first years arrive. This is the problem with the leaving certificate at present. Professor Dooley referenced this. In ordinary times, first-year students would have come on campus for induction before those in second and subsequent years..
