Question:

222. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to provide capital funding to a project (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31862/16]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

There are many competing demands on the limited capital budget for higher education.

The Department of Education and Skills is aware of the proposed project referred to by the Deputy and it will be considered within the context of competing demands.  I am not in a position to commit to a funding allocation at this point.
