Seanad debates

Educational Facilities: Motion.

Marc MacSharry (Fianna Fail)
I will come to the FOI request in due course. If the Senator had the manners to be here earlier in the debate, he would have heard that I will touch on it. This report facilitated the Minister's decision to transfer St. Catherine's to Sligo. It is interesting that the report states a transfer anywhere other than St. Angela's in Sligo would require varying amounts of capital investment. To transfer it to Sligo requires none, despite the briefing document, of which I got wind today, which stated it would require €500,000. This is incorrect. It would need an additional amount of in the region of €400,000 per annum to facilitate the college in Sligo. The students are already in place. I am amazed that Senator Burke is involved in the motion.
