Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Trish Murphy:

The colleges have been preparing for this. Certainly TCD has been corralling many people. The psychology department has offered its students to help. It will take a lot of resources. I do not think the short-term model will work for very traumatised students. We will have to change this and find some funding somewhere to support it.
