Deputy Donna McGettigan asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science for detailed information regarding the decrease in recurrent grants paid to St. Angela’s College from the estimated €8,795,000 in 2022 to the estimated €7,655,000 in 2023; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 890 and 895 together.
I understand that the Deputy is referring to the Revised Estimates Volume for Public Services 2025 and the allocations under my Department’s B4 subhead.
The B4 subhead is used to fund current activities in higher education institutions. The provision of higher education funding on an annual basis, is part of overall expenditure management and budgetary policy of the Government.
St Angela’s College was incorporated into the Atlantic Technological University (ATU) on 1st November 2023. The incorporation had implications for how the financial statements for the institution were presented. The funding amounts for 2023 relate to a 10-month period whereas those for 2022 relate to a full calendar year.
