Minister for Further and Higher Education Simon has told University chiefs that he is concerned Covid-19 outbreaks among students could have a negative impact for on-campus learning in the next academic year.

Last month, Mr Harris met representatives from some third level institutions, following a number of outbreaks of Covid-19 among third-level students in Galway and Limerick.

The Minister met representatives from the University of Limerick, NUI Galway, GMIT, and IT Sligo, while smaller colleges also attended.

Recent outbreaks associated with college activity were discussed, as well as how each responded to it. Minutes of that meeting on 19 February have been obtained by RTÉ's Morning Ireland under a Freedom of Information request.
