The table under sets out the disaggregated Exchequer funding provided in relation to TU development and progression as allocated by the HEA to date.

A further €30 million will be allocated under the Transformation Fund later this year, bringing the total funding under that Fund since 2020 to €90 million and including funding from the earlier Higher Education Landscape Fund to €121 million in total since 2013.

In relation to the €40 million secured by my Department together with the HEA under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, this funding which will cover the period to 2024 will be the subject of a HEA call for TU education and training reforms projects in due course.

In addition, my Department and the HEA are working with the Regional Assemblies in seeking to secure over €80 million in funding in respect of TU oriented regional research and development innovation integration projects under the European Regional Development Fund 2021-2027.
