Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

Ongoing discussions are taking place between officials of my Department and the college authorities on the planning of the new library/information technology facility for Waterford Regional Technical College. Under the 1994/99 European Regional Development Fund programme £4 million was set aside for this project and remains available to the college.
