It is somewhat ironic that as late as yesterday we debated in this House the new National Finance Development Agency to promote public private partnerships. This is not a new capital project, but a replacement project. All relevant procedures have been followed, reports justifying the project completed and prices agreed. The final obstacle now appears to be the Civil Service, which has yet to put in place the necessary financial arrangements for the public private partnership. It is incumbent on everyone to move this process forward and remove the obstacles blocking its progress. I urge the Minister to remove this blockage, wherever it lies, and ensure that this contract is delivered on time in the interests of the students, the staff and the people of Cork, the European City of Culture in 2005.
