Brian Hayes (Dublin South West, Fine Gael)

I wish to put on the Taoiseach's radar the very important educational project at Grangegorman, which he appreciates is a major infrastructural project on which the Houses have already passed legislation to establish an authority. The project involves the DIT and HSE. I am aware that the Government in the recent budget allocated funds to allow the project to progress. It is a major infrastructural project in Dublin and is very positive for the DIT, which is already spending significant sums in trying to patch existing constituent colleges. Does the Taoiseach agree it is long overdue for the project to get under way on the basis that construction prices in education are down at least a third from where they were two years ago?
