Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science

In February of this year, I was pleased to announce the parameters of an ambitious new phase of capital investment in the further and higher education sectors.

The four new programmes with a combined funding envelope of €430 million to 2025 will be funded within the overall capital ceilings for my Department as set out in the revised National Development Plan.
