Almost €1.3 million for Dundalk IT campus
Funding will allow the college to make a number of improvements across the campus.
Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Simon Harris TD has yesterday announced almost €1.3 million in capital funding for the Dundalk IT campus
The €1,279,765 in funding will be provided through the Devolved Grant system and will allow the college to make a number of improvements across the campus.
The grant can cover measures to make the college campuses more energy efficient, to undergo health and safety works, or minor upgrade and refurbishment works.
Speaking today, Minister Harris said:
“I am really pleased to allocate a further €40 million to our college campuses across the country.
“This will allow universities invest to ensure their capital stock is fit-for-purpose and to operate sustainably.
“Adequate levels of maintenance are required across the third level sector to prevent deterioration of capital infrastructure and ensure that facilities remain up-to-date, fit for purpose and respond to climate objectives. This funding will allow third level institutes to do that.
“This Department continues to provide the resources needed to ensure our third level sector can offer the best facilities to its students and its staff. Today is another example of that.”
Minister Harris added:
“Our third level sector faces significant challenges in responding to climate targets and this capital grant will assist in making energy efficiency and decarbonisation upgrades.
