The original site for the proposed regional technical college, beside the Blanchardstown shopping centre, proved unsuitable following extensive investigation. My Department has since identified an alternative site comprising circa 45 acres at Blanchardstown for the college. The site, which is being developed by the IDA and Fingal County Council as part of a scientific/industrial and business park, is considered to be suitable. The relevant provisions have already been made in the Estimates to facilitate the acquisition of the site.
