114 Mr. Lawlor asked the Minister for Education if she will confirm the approval of Blanchardstown Regional Technical College; the total cost of the project, including site acquisition; the date on which construction will commence; and the anticipated time scale for its completion. [3185/97]
In December 1996 I confirmed approval for the provision of a new regional technical college at Blanchardstown to serve the north, north-west and north-east Dublin region as well as growth areas in Meath and Kildare. The total cost of the new regional technical college will not be known until such time as the planning, both educational and architectural, has been completed.
