In April 2002 the Government agreed that a statutory Grangegorman development agency be established to commence work on the integrated urban design and land use framework plan for the Grangegorman site and to manage the Grangegorman site as agent for the Eastern Regional Health Authority, the Dublin Institute of Technology and the Departments involved. The Government also approved the preparation of the necessary scheme of legislation by the Department of Education and Science in consultation with the Department of Health and Children.
While work is ongoing in the preparation of the legislation it will not be available until the autumn at the earliest.
