Professor Kerstin Mey:

We are engaging in partnership with Limerick City and County Council to develop the master plan. As the Deputy may be aware, we were part of a submission by Limerick City and County Council to the urban regeneration and development fund, URDF, for a world-class waterfront centre. We got €2.52 million to develop the master planning for the city campus. We are working with Limerick City and County Council on the development of the business case to do so in order to deliver what is best for the university and what serves Limerick City and County Council best for the revitalisation of the city. In the context of that master plan development and in broad consultation with stakeholders, we are looking at the potential of the site and what it might cost and how we will finance it. The ambition is that it will be significantly transforming, and I use the word "transforming" very carefully, by 2027 when the Ryder Cup is staged in the region.
