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

Student Accommodation: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Professor Veronica Campbell:

I thank the Deputy very much. To reiterate, the enablement of a borrowing framework is crucial for us. It is provided for in the Technological Universities Act, but it has not been activated yet in terms of a process. We and our governing bodies understand the importance of having a viable business plan around any borrowing and the appropriate governance approval steps around that. We are all absolutely committed to that. Unlocking the borrowing framework would be valuable for our technological sector.
