Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 September 2022
433. Deputy Matt Shanahan asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science if he will provide a breakdown of the proposal and closing date, institution and value with respect to each land acquisition undertaken by the Higher Education Authority-funded higher education institutions between 2011 and 2021. [45505/22]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, higher education institutions are autonomous bodies with their own management structures and, as such, are responsible for decisions in relation to site acquisitions and other capital matters where these are not being funded by the State.
All capital projects advanced by publicly funded Higher Education Institutions must comply with the provisions of the Public Spending Code.
Please find attached table with details of the site/property acquisitions which were allocated Department funding. In some cases, the material supplied dates back to 2010 as the drawdown of the funding for the acquisition spanned multiple years including one year prior to the period requested by the Deputy.
