Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I am familiar with the issue. A number of bodies are involved in this. The Deputy mentioned the HSE and CUH. University College Cork has priorities in respect of a range of capital investments, involving the Cork University Business School, CUBS, building, the Tyndall National Institute and others, including the dental school. It is regrettable that given the prioritisation of the dental school and the work that has been done on it to date, that there has been a pull-back from it. The Government is open to seeing what can be done but within the overall capital allocations, there are very substantial projects on the agenda. The dental school has, unfortunately, fallen down the priority list. We will see what we can do in this regard.
