Today’s Irish Times editorial is spot on. Celebrating the success of students receiving a CAO offer is offset by the reality that they are entering a chronically underfunded higher education sector. Budget 2025 is a golden opportunity for change. irishtimes.com/opinion/edito…

A growing budget surplus of tens of billions, yet government are still not contributing the support that higher education needs & deserves in Ireland. Fixing this would be turn-key, because an efficient administrative infrastructure is already in place. @podonovan @SimonHarrisTD
My op ed with @ibec_irl CEO Danny McCoy in today’s @IrishTimes on some consequences of the underfunding of Irish higher education. Full implementation of the Government’s “Funding the Future” report will go a long way to addressing this. irishtimes.com/opinion/2024/…
