I propose to take Questions Nos. 310, 313, 314 and 315 together.
Two third-level colleges, the College of Commerce and the College of Marketing and Design, will be amalgamated into a single unit on a site at Bishop Street, Dublin 2. The City of Dublin Vocational Education Committee is the client for this project. Architectural planning has already reached Stage 3 (Developed Sketch Scheme) of my Department's Design Team Procedures. The preparation of contract documents, the seeking of tenders, the programme of work and commencement date of construction are primarily matters for the City of Dublin Vocational Education Committee and its design team when the architectural planning has been completed.
The primary responsibility for the upkeep and maintenance of their existing buildings also rests with the City of Dublin Vocational Education Committee. A financial allocation is provided annually by my Department to the Vocational Education Committee for that purpose.
