Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

I am, at present, giving active consideration to the appointment of the chairman and membership of the Grangegorman Development Agency and expect to be in a position to make an announcement shortly. As the Deputy will be aware, a sum of €1 million is included in my Department's 2006 Estimates to facilitate the establishment and operation of the agency.
