Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 April 2023
181. Deputy Colm Burke asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science what progress has been made to date on the building of a new dental school and hospital in Curraheen, Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18363/23]
View answerUCC submitted their Dental School project to the Higher Education Authority for consideration under the Higher Education Capacity Building process.
This process was developed to identify opportunities in the Higher Education system to build capacity in Dentistry, Pharmacy, Medicine, Nursing, and Veterinary Medicine programmes.
The HEA have recently submitted their recommendations to me. I will now consider the recommendations and consult with colleagues across government on the opportunities for expansion identified and associated funding priorities.
