Membership of the working group includes representatives of the Departments of the Taoiseach, Finance, Education and Science, Environment and Local Government, Public Enterprise, Health and Children, the Dublin Institute of Technology, Dublin City Council and the ERHA. Its terms of reference include examining how the Grangegorman site can be best developed in meeting education and social service needs; the development of facilities for the Dublin Institute of Technology on site; the provision of health facilities for the Eastern Regional Health Authority; and the overall development of the site, including the financing of such a development.
