615. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills with respect to the sale of a large site in Dublin city centre (details supplied), if his Department will consider including a clause in the sale whereby the provision of sports and recreational facilities be included in the development owing to the fact that there is a chronic lack of such facilities in the inner-city area.

I can confirm that the property referred to by the Deputy is in the ownership of Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin).
Under the terms of the Grangegorman Development Agency (GDA) Act 2005, both TU Dublin and the GDA are responsible for the disposals of the assets.
Both the GDA and TU Dublin are mandated by the 2005 Act to obtain the best value from any property disposal, so as to maximise the resources available for the Grangegorman development and to reduce the need for direct Exchequer funding.
