I have asked Dr Jim Port to conduct a thorough assessment of the submission made by the Governing Body of Waterford Institute of Technology having regard to national strategy for the development of Irish higher education, implications for regional development in the South East in the context of the National Spatial Strategy and any likely implications for the overall structure of higher education in Ireland. While I have not set a specific deadline for the completion of his work, I do expect to receive Dr Port's advice shortly.
