Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 December 2022
436. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science when he expects the election of the NUI Senate to take place; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [60421/22]
View answerI understand that the process to appoint a new Senate of the National University of Ireland (NUI) is near completion with the majority of positions filled and the remaining to be in place for the January 2023 meeting.
There is also a separate process underway in my Department to fill one of the four Senate positions appointed by the Government. The vacancy arose due to the resignation of the previous member, and it is expected that the process will be completed shortly.
