Amharc ar fhreagraThe position is that Universities and Institutes of Technology are autonomous institutions within the meaning of the Universities Act 1997, Technological Universities Act 2018 and the Institutes of Technology Acts 1992 to 2006.

Neither I nor my Department has a function in relation to such matters.
