'Ongoing need' for university funding, association warns

While a major investment in five higher education projects has been welcomed, there is an ongoing need to increase core funding to the third-level sector, the Irish Universities Association (IUA) warn.

As first revealed by the Irish Examiner, University College Cork (UCC) is set to receive €25m approved by the Department of Education through Project Ireland 2040 towards the development of its new business school in the heart of Cork City.
