My Department has provided capital investment totalling €721,437 for the Castlebar campus of Galway Mayo Institute of Technology for the period in question as follows:

2003 — €17,218

2004 — €46,218

2005 — €658,000.

With regard to a proposed health science complex for non nursing trainees I am not aware of any such proposal having been received in my Department.

Galway Mayo Institute of Technology is anxious to proceed with the development of a new entrance to the campus at Castlebar. My Department is considering the matter further.
