Alan CorcoranHOST
So you may hear a waterfall in the background, but we sat down with the Tawnish to Simon Harris to look at some of the key issues here.
Alan CorcoranHOST
affecting the model county? And the first one, as I've often brought up with the Tallisda, is what's happening with SETU? When is it eventually? When are we eventually going to see shovels in the ground for the campus here in this county?
Simon HarrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So I believe, and I just checked before coming to Exeter, knowing that I wouldn't be on your radio station without you asking me this, because I know you've championed this project, but my understanding is the engagement's going very, very well.
Simon HarrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And the final kind of proposals are due to be submitted in the coming months to the Department of Further and Higher Education.
Simon HarrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So is the South East Technological University and Wexford County Council.
Simon HarrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So we just need to see the final proposals into the department.
Simon HarrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I'm told there's been a lot of engagement between the council, SETU and the department and that they're expecting those proposals in the coming months.
Alan CorcoranHOST
And can you at this stage, putting on your other hat, your finance hat, can you tell us how much money is committed to this at this
Trish JackmanGUEST
So I kind of had an idea that I wanted to study sport.
Trish JackmanGUEST
I went to university at what's now called the Southeast Technological University.
Trish JackmanGUEST
I did a degree in sport and recreation management, which was actually a business degree.
Trish JackmanGUEST
because it was half business and half sport but I took a sports psychology module in second year and it was almost like one of those scenarios where things started to make sense and I realized that's the area I was going to potentially pursue and move forward in and just by random chance we had a list of essays for our assignments and I happened to get one around optimal experience which led me then to read about flow and that really hooked me in and subsequently became the area that I focused my dissertation on, my master's dissertation.
Patricia MessengerHOST
A couple of weeks ago, I spoke with a lovely lady by the name of Paula Carroll.
Patricia MessengerHOST
Paula joined me from the South East Technological University set to down in Waterford.
Patricia MessengerHOST
And she was talking about a programme that they were running successfully in Waterford, but they were now bringing it to Cork.
Patricia MessengerHOST
And it was a programme to do with male fitness and getting men together to get them fit, but to kick a football around.
Linda MaddenGUEST
Thank you very much.
Linda MaddenGUEST
And then you have Southeast Technological University, SETU, which covers Carlow IT and WIT coming together.
Linda MaddenGUEST
Cork and Tralee came together.
Linda MaddenGUEST
Imagine Cork and Kerry had a combination.

And if you do well in that, you'll be accepted onto the course in subsequent rounds.
Donnchadh O'MahonyGUEST
So the likes of ATU, Atlantic Technology University, TUS, SETU, MTU, Munster Technological University, all put on these.
Donnchadh O'MahonyGUEST
So if maybe maths was a bit of a struggle for you and it didn't go well, have a look at the university that you apply to for the course you apply to and see, do they have a second chance maths exam? So for some subjects, you won't get offer, but for others like maths, and there's even language ones in UL, you could get an offer if you do the second chance exam.
AlexHOST
Wow.
