Waterford and Carlow institutes

Summary

John McGuinness asks the Tánaiste to clarify developments after Waterford Institute of Technology withdrew from amalgamation discussions with Carlow. The Chair rules the matter unsuitable for the Order of Business and suggests a Topical Issue debate.

The Tánaiste commented on the universities Bill and mentioned specifically Waterford. Will she ask both the Institute of Technology Carlow and Waterford Institute of Technology about the current developments where Waterford will now go its own way in the amalgamation?

That is not in order on the Order of Business.

Will the Tánaiste comment on that? She commented specifically on Waterford and I believe Carlow should be mentioned in the context of what is happening now and the report in the newspaper.

Perhaps it would be suitable for a Topical Issue matter.
