Amharc ar fhreagraAs part of the budgetary process in November 2011 a Government decision was taken to concentrate available educational capital resources on delivering school places and to restrict investment in higher education infrastructure to legally binding contractual commitments that existed at that time. The project at St Angela's had not reached the point of being a legally binding contractual commitment by November 2011. As a result currently resources constraints are not available to advance with this project.
