These are the latest published figures and I understand that the Higher Education Authority plan to publish the 2018/19 institutional profiles in the coming months.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 1302, 1340 and 1341 together.
My department does not compile the information requested by the deputy.
The provision of funding for Higher Education on an annual basis is part of overall expenditure management and budgetary policy.
It is important to note that, in considering the total level of resource available to the sector, higher education institutions are autonomous bodies under legislation and have significant income streams from activities pursued through academic freedom.
The accounts of HEA designated higher education institutions are audited by the C&AG annually and the accounts are laid before the Oireachtas.
