My Department received a copy of a report commissioned by the Higher Education Authority on higher education in the creative arts in Dublin on 18 June 2018, together with a request for my Department's views on the report. My Department will now consider the report prior to making any comment.

There have been no meetings to date between the Department and the HEA in relation to this matter.
