192. Deputy Alan Dillon asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science when a college (details supplied) will have an opportunity to submit a capital application for its capital project; the criteria likely to be used for the capital application process; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [55023/21]
View answerMayo, Sligo and Leitrim Education and Training Board (MSLETB) is currently working with SOLAS on the establishment of Mayo College of Further Education and Training. Included in this is a proposal from the ETB to redevelop the facilities and buildings referred to by the Deputy.
SOLAS, in conjunction with my Department, is currently in the process of developing a capital application process for strategic capital projects which is expected to be completed in the coming months. Once complete, this application will set out clearly the eligibility criteria to be met under this application process. MSLETB will then have the opportunity to submit a capital application for the project referenced which will be considered by SOLAS as part of the overall capital strategy for the sector.
