Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 1175, 1176 and 1177 together.
While there are no Higher Education Institutions headquartered in County Clare, my Department has been informed by TU Shannon (formerly Limerick Institute of Technology) that it has a campus in Ennis since 2019. Information provided to my officials notes that TU Shannon staff are not primarily based in this campus but conduct a portion of their hours there in addition to other campuses.
The agencies under the aegis of my Department are not based in County Clare. I understand that my colleague, the Minister for Education, is reporting on ETB public sector staff working in the Further Education and Training Sector in Co Clare; and that my colleague, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, is reporting on numbers of civil service staff in Co. Clare.
