Earlier this year DMDL launched a tendering process for the refurbishment of the remaining property on a PPP basis. A total of 12 expressions of interest have been received in response to this. An evaluation of these submissions is being carried out by DMDL and its team of advisers. It is envisaged that, following detailed negotiations, contracts would be signed with the successful bidder in the early part of next year with a view to work beginning shortly afterwards. In addition, construction of a high speed broadband network, a vital prerequisite for a project such as this, has been completed by Dublin City Council with over €2 million in funding from my Department. A number of educational initiatives for the local community are also under way.
