Dr. Eabhnat Ní Fhloinn:

I think multi-annual funding is probably the main aspect because once one knows one has something in place for three or five years and can bring in this kind of thing, a lot of places would extend what they are doing. This is what we are seeing. Students are saying that opening hours are not long enough and there are not enough tutors when they are there so if we had more money, the centres would be open for longer and more students would come.
