Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-09-21
============================================================

Lynn Ruane (IND), University of Dublin

I move amendment No. 100:
In page 66, between lines 21 and 22, to insert the following:
“Local authorities and higher education land use
73. For the avoidance of doubt and to protect the role of local authorities, nothing in this Act shall be construed as granting the Minister or An tÚdarás the power to compel designated higher education institutions to dispose of land or other assets or to change the primary use of land or other assets owned by such institutions, either generally or in such a way that would contravene the local development plan of a local authority area.”.
