I propose to take Questions Nos. 135 to 137, inclusive, together.
The Higher Education Authority has provided the following details to my Department with regard to the split between pay and non-pay in respect of the 2016 operating budget of Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT). Pay is 85% and non-pay is 15% (excluding certain activities such as research etc.) of the budget. In addition, the details provided show that the impact of the Lansdowne Road Agreement on WIT's budget is estimated to be €5.075m over the period of 2017/18 to 2019/2020.
Any moneys due to staff of WIT under the terms of the Lansdowne Road Agreement will be provided for in Vote 26: Education & Skills as part of the 2017 Estimates Allocation.
