As the Deputy will be aware the recurrent provision for the higher education sector has reduced as announced in Budget 2013. The recurrent provision made available for 2012 to the University and Institutes of Technology sectors was some €1.119 billion while the provision for 2013 is €1.036 billion which includes a 2% reduction in both core pay and non-pay as announced in Budget 2012. Taking into account increased income in respect of the Student Contribution, the 2013 provision represents a net reduction of 4.5%.
