I propose to take Questions Nos. 617 and 619 together.

The Grangegorman Development Agency currently has 6 staff consisting of 3 staff members directly employed and 3 staff seconded to the Agency. Details of numbers, grades and salaries bands are detailed in the following document. The cost of the Payroll bill for the Agency for year ended 31st December 2008 was €503,270.00 including Employer PRSI. €1.488m has been provided in the 2009 Revised Estimates to cover the current expenditure costs of the Agency. Any capital expenditure costs of the Agency would be met from the capital allocation for 3rd Level Institution which is in excess of €199m in 2009.

Since its establishment the Agency has been working on the preparation of a Strategic Plan and Budget for the proposed development of the Grangegorman site. The Strategic Plan is required in order to inform the Government of the options and the associated costs of moving the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) campus to the Grangegorman site as well as making on site provision for the relevant Health facilities. The Agency have submitted a draft Strategic Plan and funding strategy to my Department for approval. Once these proposals have been fully examined I intend presenting them to Government for consideration.
