Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Tim Conlon:
I think so. It is also about the assist to some institutions because, as I said, they need to very carefully consider the market and the economic viability of accommodation. Of course, we want to provide it at the lowest possible cost to students, which is also part the challenge, but if the project does not wash its own face, for want of a better expression, then it creates a problem further down the line for institutions. The investments need to be considered very carefully. External expertise and advice will be very important to institutions in that regard. That is perhaps where we can step up and assist by providing them with the advice.
