Public Accounts Committee

HEA - Financial Statement 2015

10:00 am

Dr. Graham Love:

I think the gap identified by the Cassells group, as has been mentioned, is €600 million or so. Probably about a third or so of that is currently going in. It is quite a significant amount. We have obviously been taking a stepwise approach, beginning with the additional €150 million to €160 million the Government announced for this year. I accept that is small. There is no side-stepping that.
