The site was purchased from Galwegians Rugby Club for €8.95m, of which €6.45m was provided by the Higher Education Authority.
Speaking in Galway, Mr Harris said the site will enable the technological university"to expand and develop facilities". "Additionally, from a policy perspective, it demonstrates the Government's commitment to advancing the role and ambition of our new technological universities, as well as its commitment to balanced regional development."
Wonderful news! Now, where are they going to house all the extra students it will attract?
