This process must not slow down the progress we have to make. When people ask for advice from the NDFA, it must offer it in a constructive manner and not delay projects that are so badly needed. When there is an infrastructural deficit and a need for investment in health and education, we should welcome the initiative. Public private partnerships have already worked in health and education. With this new way of thinking we should see the future development of the Cork School of Music, currently the subject of a public private partnership. The Minister must free any blockages to the partnership to make sure the project is complete when Cork becomes European City of Culture in 2005.
