I know that the witnesses have to be careful in their replies. I am aware that South East Technological University, SETU, and the University of Limerick have submitted applications. I am a former student of Kildalton Agricultural College. It is probably one of the few agricultural colleges that is left across the country. What is the HEA's view on the importance of having such colleges close to third level institutions, where veterinary medicine could be offered as part of the college courses?
