Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Michael Ryan:
The Senator has asked a very good question. There is an expertise we have developed in engaging with communities and service users, and tapping into their knowledge around recovery. That is very transferable to the colleges. We already have a partnership with our recovery colleges, which is linked to NUIG, DCU and the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, GMIT. That has been recognised as a world first with third level.
