Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 April 2025
854. Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science if he will ensure that Marino Institute of Education is allocated devolved grant funding for campus maintenance and sustainability initiatives; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15706/25]
View answerMarino Institute of Education (MIE) is a private higher education institution.
MIE is not in receipt of core funding from my Department. However, I understand that it receives some limited funding for approved teacher training activities from the Department of Education.
As a private college the day to day operation of the organisation, including issues surrounding campus maintenance and sustainability initiatives are the responsibility of the college administrators to deal with in line with the college’s own criteria.
There are currently no plans to extend capital funding streams to MIE.
