Written answers

I understand the deputy is seeking details of the recurrent grant funding provided to Higher Education Institutions via the HEA.

In this regard, my Department allocates recurrent funding to the Higher Education Authority (HEA) for direct disbursement to HEA designated higher education institutions. The HEA allocates this funding to the institutions via the recurrent funding model.

Please find attached a table outlining the total recurrent funding as administered by the HEA in the years 2006 to 2020.
