Approval to proceed with the LIT Coonagh project was provided in 2018. The development of the facility includes two stages of works - an enabling works package and the fit-out works of the former retail development on the site. The enabling works package reached substantial completion in September 2020.

Following extensive engagement between the Higher Education Authority (HEA) and LIT, a submission on the preferred option for the fit-out phase of the works was submitted by LIT to the HEA. This submission is currently under review by HEA and my Department. The outcome of this process will determine the level of support to be provided to LIT. €5.65m has been provided towards the project to date.
