Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 February 2022
184. Deputy Matt Shanahan asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science the allocation to each higher education institution in respect of funds (details supplied) in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10197/22]
View answerThe table under sets out the disaggregated Exchequer funding provided in relation to TU development and progression as allocated by the HEA to date.
A further €30 million will be allocated under the Transformation Fund later this year, bringing the total funding under that Fund since 2020 to €90 million and including funding from the earlier Higher Education Landscape Fund to €121 million in total since 2013.
In relation to the €40 million secured by my Department together with the HEA under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, this funding which will cover the period to 2024 will be the subject of a HEA call for TU education and training reforms projects in due course.
In addition, my Department and the HEA are working with the Regional Assemblies in seeking to secure over €80 million in funding in respect of TU oriented regional research and development innovation integration projects under the European Regional Development Fund 2021-2027.
