Vote 45 - Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Supplementary) (24 Oct 2024)

We had the Union of Students in Ireland before the committee earlier in the week. Cost-of-living challenges are a big issue for third level...

Ciarán Cannon: Have the people who are leading that change in that unit of 700 people ever contemplated visiting places such as Denmark - maybe they already have - which is not dissimilar to us in terms of its demographics and population? Estonia is a very small, agile country that has been doing extraordinary things in the use of technology for how a citizen interacts with the state. Have we visited...
