Provision has been made in the 1998 Estimates for capital contractual commitments amounting to around £800,000 and £2.5 million for Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) and Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) respectively. In addition I recently gave the go-ahead for the planning of further major projects estimated to cost in excess of £12 million at WIT and £10 million at CIT. Campus development plans are at present being prepared by both institutes and when these have been completed and examined by my Department I will be then in a position to quantify the additional resources which will need to be allocated to each institute in respect of their proposed ten year programmes.
