Written answers

My Department is currently engaged in finalising legislation for early publication which will set up an agency with the responsibility of developing a 73 acre site at Grangegorman as a single campus for Dublin Institute of Technology comprising 65 acres and, in addition, the development of the balance of the site to address the interests of the Eastern Regional Health Authority and the Northern Area Health Board. The agency will be known as the Grangegorman development agency.

The function of the agency in the initial phase will be to draw up a strategic development plan for the site. The proposed legislation will make provision for comprehensive consultation with all interested parties, including local residents and representatives. Once a scheme of development has been approved, the agency will be responsible for the development of the site on behalf of Dublin Institute of Technology and the Northern Area Health Board.
