Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements of the Higher Education Authority 2013
General Report No. 85 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Accountability and Governance on the National College of Art and Design

10:00 am

Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

Arising from the Quigley report, the Minister for Education and Skills agreed to make two allocations, one for the student building and the second to complete Carriganore, which at the time was €2.5 million. My understanding is that we have not paid over the €2.5 million because we have not confirmed with the institute that this will complete the project. I am not aware of the detail but the total maximum commitment the Minister for Education and Skills has given is €2.5 million. Of course we talk to the institute and I assume there is dialogue under way, but we have not committed to giving any more than €2.5 million.
