I wish to advise the Deputy that the additional investment required to reduce the staff: student ratio to 15:1 across the university and technological sector is €147.480m per annum.

This is in accordance with the methodology used in the Institutional Profiles (published by the Higher Education Authority) and based on the 2017/18 enrolment figures for full time equivalent (FTE) students (full and part time) to academic staff as at 31 Dec 2017.
