Alan Dillon (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I publicly thank the Minister for coming to Castlebar earlier this week to deliver the fantastic news on the Mayo College of Further Education and Training. This will be a multimillion euro project for County Mayo and Castlebar. It will strengthen our appeal in the future economic outlook and will invest in FET. This significant capital investment will transform that campus. We have an excellent team under Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim ETB, and its executive management is passionate about delivering the best of courses that are of high quality in areas such as digital media, cybersecurity and immersive technology. These are the technologies of the future and we want to be at the forefront of this. I welcome the centre of excellence that will be established under the FET model in Castlebar. I understand the next stage is to proceed to the preliminary business case. I ask the Minister for a timeline on the development of this in the weeks and months ahead.
