These are the figures which have been provided to me by the school as dealt with by the architect in question. It seems contrary to the direction I thought the Government was going in. The differential here is too little in the case of the particular school and the matter requires...

Finance Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (20 Feb 2013)

John Deasy: I will stick with the living city initiative in the Bill. It relates to the urban regeneration of Waterford and Limerick.
