Subhead C9 refers to grants for certain third level institutions. I ask the Minister to elaborate on why these colleges or institutions have been prioritised.
Subhead C12 refers to research activities and I noticed that there was quite a large increase in funding. I ask the Minister to elaborate on the matter.
Subhead C16 refers to third level infrastructure. I welcome the money allocated for capital investment programmes. What is the timeframe for the allocation of such funding? What institutions or areas will benefit from the funding?
