asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce when it is proposed to commence work on the erection of the proposed Dublin central bus station.

I am advised by Córas Iompair Éireann that the work on the Dublin central bus station will be commenced next month.

Can the Minister state whether the time taken to erect this station will be proportionate to the time taken to erect the temporary shelters and, if so, when they expect to have it finished?
