What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Research Ireland announced its largest Public Service Fellowship, allocating €3.9 million to place 41 academic researchers directly into government departments and state bodies. Two academics from University of Limerick are involved in major initiatives under the scheme. One will help design an integrated healthcare model for people transitioning from the Irish Prison Service into the community, while the other will partner with the Electoral Commission to study youth voting.
