Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 October 2022
568. Deputy Matt Shanahan asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science her position regarding the future headquarters of the South East Technological University (details supplied) which is irreconcilable with that stated in the minutes of the governing body meeting; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49930/22]
View answerMy Department has been informed by the South East Technological University (SETU) that it has not announced a headquarters for the university and that for the purposes of administration processes the governing body has agreed that the administrative address would be the Waterford campus.
The appropriate development or operation of any campus of a multi-campus technological university, including SETU, remain matters for the governing body of the relevant university and neither I as the Minister nor my Department has a role or function in such matters, nor is the allocation of funding predicated on such matters.
