No decision has been made on the headquarters of the new university in the South East, according to the Taoiseach.
Reports last week suggested that the new university would be HQ'd in Kilkenny, and not Waterford as previously thought.
Waterford TD Matt Shanahan raised the issue during leaders questions yesterday.
In response, Michael Martin said;
“No decision has been made on the headquarters for the new university."
"I have had this discussion previously. The most important aspect of this is the critical mass of the technological institute itself. As I said, the Government is committed to expanding the footprint of the existing institute in Waterford and that will happen."
"All Deputies have been consistent and constructive in pursuing this objective, which is an important objective which we should not undermine in any way because that would be to the detriment of Waterford.”
