In addition UCD received €3,999,000 and TCD received €2,798,000 by way of a devolved capital grant for minor works and equipment for the 2020/21 academic year. This flexible funding complements other large-scale capital investments in the sector that will help expand availability of student places and transform campus infrastructure over the coming years.
