Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Limerick Institute of Higher Education.
32.
I am not in a position to anticipate the provisions of the legislation under which the Limerick Institute for Higher Education will be statutorily established and their governing body appointed.
Do I understand from the reply that the Minister is not in a position at the moment?
Yes.
Has the Minister any idea when he will be in a position to let us know?
It is being examined in relation to the general question of third level education in the country.
When will the result be available?
I could not tell the Deputy.
Kathleen Mavourneen—it may be for years and it may be forever.
