Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science if he accepts the conclusion in the report of an organisation (details supplied) of July 2022 that the accumulation of NTF surpluses is not caused by EU fiscal rules but is instead a political choice on expenditure prioritisation; whether he will now increase the Department's expenditure ceiling to utilise the existing surplus and the further €283 million that remained unspent in 2025; and the timeline for delivering real skills investment rather than allowing employer contributions to continue accumulating unused.
