Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Reopening of Further and Higher Education Institutions: Discussion

Professor Ciarán Ó hÓgartaigh:

Much of the funding in that context has gone towards simulation and simulation work. I do not have a number in that regard for the whole sector. We could revert to the Deputy with the detail in that regard. There has been significant expenditure of capital funding in NUI Galway around simulation spaces, which relate to clinical spaces or HSE spaces. We added new spaces in medicine in NUI Galway last year, which is particularly welcome in the context of the pressure in that regard.
