The new Distributed Campus Support Fund has been established to support higher education institutions (HEIs) with multi-campuses in our regions, primarily in the Technological University sector. Speaking today, Minister Harris said: “This new funding strengthens and supports campuses dispersed in our regions. “This ensures that HEIs that have multiple campuses can boost and maximise the impact of their campuses in the regions. This funding ensures that regional higher education campuses like those in Thurles or Killybegs are supported in recognition of the fact they are regionally dispersed.
