There are concerns that the headquarters may not be in Waterford but Kilkenny.
The concerns arose following the meeting of a new Regional Engagement Advisory Group, headed by the Presidents of IT Carlow and WIT yesterday (Thursday) which was addressed by the Higher Education minister.
Simon Harris said TUSEI was not just for Waterford or for Carlow but also for Wexford, Kilkenny, Wicklow, Laois and Kildare:
“This region has suffered greatly in successive global economic and financial crises and is crying out for an anchor within the higher education and enterprise landscape that can deliver real change and prosperity; I firmly believe this is what the new TU will do,” he said.
