What does the HEA expect the effect will be? I am newly elected but I have been involved in the technological university of south east Ireland, TUSEI, process with Carlow and Waterford for the last number of months. I am glad that the application has gone in but I would like to understand what effect this may have in future. Will it affect the finances of IT Carlow, which has a campus in Wexford? We are also looking at having a newly-built campus in Wexford. Will this deficit cause an issue when it comes to funding those facilities?
