The Lyons Estate is in the ownership of University College Dublin. The institution is an autonomous body, with the day to day management of the institution's affairs being a matter for the Governing Body of the institution. I have been informed by the Higher Education Authority that the Governing Body is continuing to carry out a full analysis of its requirements in relation to its overall campus development. In this regard, the University is exploring all options open to it, including an examination of the suitability and use of the Lyons Estate.
