I will be a complete nuisance and come in at a time when the Chair thought I would not. Ms Tonge spoke about the need for the transitional system in order that the student can have a better understanding before coming in. UCD is obviously a university with significant resources. Based on Ms Tonge's knowledge of it, what are the added supports? I accept that UCD is probably in a better place than 99% of third level institutes and colleges. There are funding streams and improvements are being made. If Ms Tonge had a magic wand, what would she do?
