The Department of Education and Skills has been made aware of the challenges faced by the third level institution in question with respect to its current library facilities.

There are many competing demands on the limited capital budget for higher education and the library development proposal will be considered within the context of competing demands. I am not in a position to commit to a funding allocation at this point.
