Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 December 2017
109. Deputy James Browne asked the Minister for Education and Skills the details of the approved purchase of land at a location (details supplied) by Carlow Institute of Technology; the time and details of the deposit that was put down on the land; the person with whom the deposit was placed; if the purchase agreement was signed; if so, the person who signed it; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53422/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has been, and remains, supportive of the proposed acquisition by IT Carlow of a site in Wexford for the development of a new purpose-built campus. We continue to work closely with the Higher Education Authority and IT Carlow in that respect.
Given that options for progressing the IT Carlow campus in Wexford are still being considered, and given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally, I am not in a position to comment any further on the Deputy's question.
