Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Reform of Third Level Education: Discussion

2:55 pm

Mr. Ned Costello:

There is the technology transfer support initiative, which has well-defined targets. We are about to create the new central technology transfer office in Enterprise Ireland in collaboration with the universities and IOTs. A great deal of work is going on to pin that area down better. That is where we can absolutely draw the connection and we support that.

I will ask Mr. Purser to discuss points, the terminal examination, access and so on.
