Costello Welcomes Construction At Grangegorman Campus

Labour MEP, Emer Costello, has welcomed the commencement of construction at Grangegorman campus, stating it will be key to the regeneration of the North Inner City.

Costello, a former Dublin Lord Mayor and local resident, was speaking as the sod was turned on the €26m Site Infrastructure and Public Realm development at the site.

She said: "As a former member of the Grangegorman Development Agency, I am delighted that Taoiseach Enda Kenny has today finally turned the sod on a new unified campus at Grangegorman for DIT.


"The new Grangegorman site is a strategic project for Dublin and will provide much needed construction jobs over coming years. The €26 million development which has begun today will see over 200 construction workers on site. In tandem with jobs, the development will play a pivotal role in the regeneration of the North Inner City.

"Often promised in the old days by Fianna Fail, particularly around election time, a world-class educational facility at Grangegorman is now finally being delivered by Labour and Minister Ruairi Quinn in government."
