The High Court has cleared the way for the winner of a multi-million-euro contract for the new Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) campus at Grangegorman to proceed with the project.

New courthouses are to be built in four locations with major refurbishment in three additional sites under a plan signed off yesterday.

TRUCKS carrying 70 portacabins left Cork this week for site use in constructing eight new schools, under a €100m PPP investment of 25 years with contractors BAM PPP.

Eight new school building projects are to begin work immediately thanks to a €50m loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB).
