Eamon Gilmore backs South East University!

April 19, 2008 – 2:41 pm

Eamon Gilmore (Labour Party leader) came to WIT on Thursday last to address an audience. During his speech he paid particular focus to the needs of the South East region and with specific emphasis on a university for the region, stated that this was an urgent and necessary catalyst to rejuvenate the economic profile of the South East. Following on from Fine Gael’s priority questions to the Minister for Education recently in the Dáil, this added support from the Labour Party is a welcomed development in the case for a university to be established in the South East. With this collective support and the continued pressure from the public, the Minister cannot put this decision off for much longer. A transcript of Eamon’s address can be read here.
