The Grangegorman Development Authority has advised me that the Demolitions Contractor, McCallan Bros., is due to move onsite on Monday 27thMay to carry out Tranche 1 of the demolition of several old buildings on the Grangegorman site. Residents living close the campus had concerns regarding the location of a waste compund and I have raised this issue with Dublin City Council and the Grangegorman Development Authority. Alternative options are being considered and I will continue to support the residents and the campus development so that an appropriate solution can be found. Mary
