I ask the Government for clarification of its position on public private partnerships. In my home city a major educational project, the Cork School of Music, is being held up allegedly because of difficulties with the concept of public private partnerships, yet on radio this morning I heard the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform talking about building a prison using public private partnerships. I do not have any problem with the proposal to build a detention centre for young people because it is long overdue. However, I do have a problem with the reason it is not possible to build the Cork School of Music using public private partnerships, particularly if it is possible for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to say he will build a prison less than one week after I heard the Minister for Education and Science explain the problems. I would like the issue of the Government's position on public private partnerships debated and clarified in the House once and for all.
