The committee recently received correspondence about the ice rink owned by Dundalk Institute of Technology, DKIT. It appears DKIT let this sit idle for years and apparently it is now seeking to commercialise it. There was a standing offer for years that would have yielded a return and provided a public service. In providing funding to an institute under the authority's remit, does it have any scope at all to suggest any possible actions that might provide a good public service with projects? Would the authority have an opinion on something that has been allowed to sit idle for years when there were offers that would have brought in some funding? Does the authority have an opinion on why the institute would do it?
