330 Mr. Neville asked the Minister for Education and Science the position with regard to his consideration of proposals to have a medical faculty at the University of Limerick. [11243/04]
View answerI am aware of the proposal by the University of Limerick for the development of a postgraduate medical education programme. As the Deputy will be aware, a working group on undergraduate medical education has been established under the chairmanship of Professor Patrick Fottrell to examine a range of issues in regard to medical education and training. The working group is addressing its task with a view to reporting later this year. In this context, a copy of the University of Limerick proposal has been forwarded to the working group as part of its consideration of the options for moving forward.
