The Deputy may wish to note that Capital funding for higher education is targeted at delivering core educational facilities and my Department has no funding available for the provision of student accommodation in that context. Neither does my Department have any expertise or knowledge in relation to housing supply or housing policy in general. Therefore, my Department has not had any contact with NAMA in respect of the particular matter referred to by the Deputy.
