As I informed the House when introducing on 23rd March, 1960, a token estimate towards the cost of additional accommodation for University College, Dublin, it is proposed to provide without delay on the Belfield site a building for Senior Science work to relieve immediate pressure on the College. No decision has been taken as yet regarding the holding of an open architectural competition for the planning and design of the other new buildings to be provided.
