Does Dr. Trant agree with that? The committee recently visited the Bishopstown campus of Munster Technological University. Very impressive work is going on there in terms of training apprenticeships for the manufacture of medical devices such as hips and knees. Obviously, there is a relationship with local pharmaceutical companies in the area. Would Dr. Trant agree that we should not look for a greater financial contribution from employers?
