Select Committee on Education and Skills
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
My answer is as the Deputy suggested, that I will be looking at guidelines, codes or policies that can be issued on the sustainable investment of funds by institutions of higher education. The amendment as currently drafted is too detailed for this legislation. It is envisaged that guidelines, codes and policies will be issued to the designated institutions of higher education under this section on a regular basis. While I am not in a position to accept the amendment, I will consider the inclusion of provisions in relation to sustainable development prior to Report Stage. I take the Deputy's point regarding divestments. I will consider these matters in the round between now and Report Stage.
