Joint Oireachtas Committee on Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science

Student Accommodation: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Paul Lemass:

The HEA is taking a hands-on role with this programme. It is being managed centrally. In some of the more traditional developments in years gone by with the traditional universities that have a deep expertise in this area, one was able to allow them to lead and run with their own projects. Some have 100 staff in their buildings offices. They are big campuses with deep expertise. We recognise the TUs are not at that stage. Perhaps Mr. McCaffrey wants to speak as well, but this is why the HEA is taking a hands-on role and co-ordinating at a national level and all of the projects are managed together as part of a programme.
