Details of administrative staff in the institutes for the year 1990 are not available as the staff were part of the overall VEC system at the time.

My Department does not have direct access to details relating to the configuration of accommodation at the various institutes of technology, including Dublin Institute of Technology. Accordingly, the information requested by the Deputy is not readily available.
