Amharc ar fhreagraNo formal discussions have taken place with the Higher Education Authority regarding decentralisation. However, mechanisms have been put in place by my Department to ensure that the Higher Education Authority and other relevant bodies under the aegis of my Department are kept fully informed as the process develops.
The HEA has also been asked to provide information to the Department relating to its accommodation requirements in the decentralised location.
