Marc Ó Cathasaigh (GP), Waterford

There are three items of real importance in my constituency of Waterford that should come across the Minister's desk in the Department of public expenditure. The first concerns the PPP project and engineering building that was promised for SETU in Waterford. We have been awaiting a decision on it for months. The second issue also concerns the technological university sector, namely the decision on professorial roles. If we want technological universities to function as centres of research, they are critical. The third issue is whether the Minister has been in touch with the Department of Transport to hear its assessment of the business case for Waterford Airport. Surely that is a decision that will come to the Department of public expenditure. Has the Minister engaged with the Minister, Deputy Ryan, regarding an initial update on the business case assessment?
