The Connacht-Ulster Alliance has issued a statement welcoming the Technological Universities
Bill by the Minster for Education & Skills, that paves the way for the establishment of
Technological Universities.
The CUA was set-up in 2012 for the declared purpose of “forming the nucleus of a Technological
University and working together to achieve the required criteria”. The formation and objectives
were welcomed by the Taoiseach.
The Presidents confirmed that a merger of the three institutes will only be considered in the
context of achieving Technological University designation.
