Although the benefits of this improvement are yet to flow through to the university sector, we can at least be confident that the worst is over. We now need a concerted campaign to ensure that the total amount of money UCD receives per Irish student returns to levels comparable with our international competitors, and the HR constraints we have been under during the period of austerity are lifted.
