Third Level Education
Dail Éireann — 2020-12-15
============================================================

Matt Shanahan (IND), Waterford

Approximately €1.7 billion has been spent on the university sector and less than 1% has been delivered to the south east, which accounts for 10% of the student population, in the past 20 years. The south east has suffered a pronounced decline during that period. Is the Minister satisfied that capital allocations are fully fair, transparent and equitable?
