I thank the Minister. I am glad to hear him reaffirming the endorsement of a new campus for Wexford and the people of Wexford will be very glad to hear it. These allegations made at a public meeting of the county council are not helpful. The article also states that while the CPO process was invoked in January, it was completed in March. Intelligent people will know this was not the case. The notice to treat was served but the process is anything but complete. I do believe that what people want is a timeline. I ask the Minister to ensure the president of SETU engages with the county council so that we do not have the retired chief executive making allegations that it is holding it up. This is exactly what the article says, which is exactly what was said at the meeting. It is the same for county councillors trying to make political capital. People are very concerned about this and they want a timeline more than anything so that their children will be afforded the opportunity of a third level education. For some this means in Wexford and Wexford only.
