Ultimately, final approval for the Cork School of Music project will be a matter for the Government. Consideration will be based on a thorough assessment of its affordability in the context of the competing demands on the likely capital funding envelopes in the future, taking into account the issues surrounding the general government balance. The Minister for Education and Science, Deputy Noel Dempsey, expressed his desire that I inform the Senator that both he and his Department will continue to pursue the matter with all concerned with a view to having it determined by Government in the very near future. I hope this is helpful.
