As the Deputy is aware the Lyons Estate is in the ownership of a third level institution. The institution is an autonomous body and the day to day management of the institution's affairs is a matter for the Governing Body of the institution. I have been informed by the Higher Education Authority that the Governing Body is continuing with a review of its overall campus development plan, including consideration of the disposal of the lands at Lyons Estate. The Governing Body initiated this review and is briefed regularly on its progress. I understand that the outcome of the review is not expected for a number of months.
