Public Accounts Committee

Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2019

Dr. Alan Wall:

That is the point I am trying to make. To be honest, it is a campus that is providing real services to an area. Nobody is asking primary schools or post-primary schools to be sustainable. I am wondering if there is another way to look at the issue. The board has asked us to examine it in broader terms. Our view is that the long-term sustainability needs to be seen through another lens, in the context of the kind of services being given throughout the region by the CUA. We should not just look at GMIT in isolation. We should look at other such campuses. That is the discussion we will have with the Department. That is what we hope to take forward.
