The estate in Co. Kildare referred to by the Deputy is in the ownership of a third level institution. The Institution is an autonomous body, with the day to day management of the Institution's affairs being a matter for its Governing Body. I have been informed by the Higher Education Authority that the Governing Body is currently engaged in an analysis of its requirements in relation to its overall campus development. In this regard, the Institution is exploring all options open to it, including an examination of the suitability and use of this estate.
