There is currently one staff member from the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science seconded to the university third level sector.  This secondment pre-dated the establishment of my Department and is on the basis of two days per week to University College Cork.  Salary costs associated with this part time, temporary secondment are recouped back to my Department from the University.
