The EO1 project is a co-funded project funded under the Higher Education Strategic Infrastructure Fund.  My Department is contributing €6.6m in exchequer funding towards the overall cost of this project (€18.6m).

The Investment Programme Tracker October 2021 focuses mainly on major projects and programmes with costs greater than €20 million.  The EO1 project at Sligo IT does not fall into the greater than €20m category and therefore is not contained in the tracker.
