I recently announced the appointment of Mr. John Fitzgerald, city manager, Dublin City Council as chairman of the Grangegorman Development Agency. I am now actively considering the other appointments to the agency. The Deputy will be interested to know that Section 22 of the Grangegorman Development Agency Act 2005 provides for the establishment, by the agency, of a consultative group. This group will be representative of all stakeholders interested in the development of the Grangegorman site. I am pleased to advise the Deputy that the student body of the Dublin Institute of Technology is specified as a stakeholder under this section of the Act.

As the Docklands (Rail) Development Authority is not under my remit I am unable to comment regarding appointments to that authority.
