Under the bonnet we’re trying to optimise images and load times, generate caches of regularly accessed files and purge old non-display data which was probably very useful at some point but now is just slowing things down.

It will also be important that additional core funding for student supports are also available to match this increase. We are disappointed again though that the issue of sustainable core-funding for third-level has not been addressed. So, we are again calling for […]
