Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 October 2025
721. Deputy Donna McGettigan asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science to confirm that permission is required to use the words “campus” or “college” in the name of a business; the cost to apply for such permission; the information required to apply; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [52945/25]
View answerPermission is not required to use the words 'campus' or 'college' in the name of a business. As noted in guidance provided by the Companies Registration Office, only the terms “University” and “Institute of Technology” or “Regional Technical College” cannot be used unless permission has been sought from and granted by my Department. As such, no application needs to be made to my Department to use 'campus' or 'college' in the name of a business.
