My Department has been, and remains, supportive of the proposed acquisition by IT Carlow of a site in Wexford for the development of a new purpose-built campus. We continue to work closely with the Higher Education Authority and IT Carlow in that respect.

Given that options for progressing the IT Carlow campus in Wexford are still being considered, and given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally, I am not in a position to comment any further on the Deputy's question.
