GMIT Mayo campus funding
Senator Conway-Walsh criticised large university surpluses and loans while the Mayo campus of GMIT is underfunded, and asked the Minister to explain the imbalance.
-----to transfer to the Galway campus. I want to highlight the inequalities. The universities in question do not even include these huge amounts of money in their accounts. Meanwhile, what University College Galway has in a loan would keep the Mayo campus of GMIT going for 15 years. This is not acceptable. I want the Minister for Education and Skills to come before the House and explain to us how these universities are getting away with stashing away this money while institutions in other areas in education, such as the Mayo campus of GMIT, are starved of funding and are on their knees.
