Funding will be allocated on the basis of the Institutes' enrolments, and will be provided via the Higher Education Authority.
Announcing the funding, Minister for Education and Skills, Jan O'Sullivan TD, said: "I am delighted to announce the allocation of this funding to the Institutes of Technology which has been allotted for the purpose of maintaining and developing facilities and equipment right across the Institute of Technology sector.
