Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science

My Department does not hold or collect the type of data in question.

Higher Education Institutions are autonomous bodies and are responsible for their own day-to-day management and operational affairs including in relation to their academic affairs and the development of their educational offerings.
