I have no doubt that if SETU is successful, there will be very high quality standards in the courses being run and among the students. While regional balance has to come into this, the south east has a very strong farming background in that it is home to the Teagasc headquarters and Kildalton Agricultural and Horticultural College. SETU would make a fantastic facility to join everything up.

How many students does UCD take in annually? Once the decision is made, how many student places is it projected will be available in September 2024 in UCD and whatever other facility or college is offering places?
