Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Financial Supports for Tertiary Level Students: Discussion

12:05 pm

Mr. Keith Moynes:

I do not like to put a timeline on it as we do not know ourselves what that looks like. Regarding the two-phase bit we need, we need information about how this would work from an institutional perspective. There is then an engagement process with the Departments of Finance and public expenditure about carving space on the balance sheet and what that would look like and the assurances they would need and the rules around that. It is a complicated issue. I would be misleading the Deputy by saying it is not a complex issue.

In terms of other things and the institutions, we effectively fund the totality of building projects.

SETU has got the veterinary school and pharmacy.
