rapid progress.
In 1973, Ireland was one of the poorest country in European Union with less natural
resources. Ireland then joined in world trade and invited foreign investor.
To be able to compete in world trade, Ireland needed human resources with skill and high
educational background. By those reason, Ireland prioritized education in order to
generate rapid improvement so that Ireland could be a country with highest income per
capita in European Union.
Besides, Ireland was very opened for international students and newcomers who wanted
to collaborate and develop innovation and creativity in the academic field.
At the end of speech session, H.E. Mr. David Stanton TD invited UI students to continue
their study to Ireland. This invitation were greeted enthusiastically by students who were
actively asked several questions about universities in Ireland.
