I request that we bring the Minister for higher education before Seanad Éireann to speak about our technological universities and get an update on where things are at. I am speaking specifically about the Wexford campus for the South East Technological University, SETU. Earlier this week, we had a significant announcement of funding which will open up a 1.3 km link road from Ballynagee in Wexford town out to where the new campus will be located. The funding will allow Wexford County Council to construct that road, which will open up land it owns for housing and for the new stadium for Wexford Football Club.

While this is a welcome announcement, we need the Higher Education Authority and the Department of higher education to come forward with an update on where exactly the Wexford campus is. The link road will be built. It will open up access to the land. We need to know whether the money is available to progress to the next phase of planning permission for the Wexford campus. I would like the Minister for higher education to come to the Chamber to give an update on that and many other issues in the technological university space.
