I wish to refer the Deputy to my speech to Dáil Éireann on the 1988 Estimates in which I announced my intention to establish an interdepartmental committee to examine, inter alia, the provision of student places at third level. The Government approved the terms of reference, operation and composition of the committee in March 1988 and it has met on a number of occasions since. Pending receipt of the committee's report a number of capital projects were deferred including the proposed new building at Bishop Street for the College of Commerce, Rathmines and the College of Marketing and Design, Mountjoy Square.
