Amharc ar fhreagraProjects in Cork Institute of Technology and Institute of Technology Tralee have been identified for inclusion in the Higher Education PPP Programme announced recently. These critical investments on existing campuses will help drive the Munster Technological University (MTU) proposal forward.
We have received a submission regarding the building referred to by the Deputy. We have reviewed this submission. Given our commitments in progressing the MTU at its existing campus locations, the Department has no plans to acquire a separate site for the MTU at this time.
