As if Irish students haven't been waiting long enough, there's been another Grangegorman campus delay. According to the Irish Independent, DIT's newest campus has been delayed for two years.
This hideous wait has been caused by a legal challenge by an under-bidder for the €180m-€200m contract, to design and build its two main teaching blocks.
Students hoping to go to the new campus will now have to wait til September 2019, when 10,000 students were initially told they could move in this September.

With another delay, this means the project's budget will blow out beyond the original €485.5m estimate.
The National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) is currently working with the successful tenderer and sadly, September 2019 is the new target date for the opening.
The new campus would be the home of DIT, which is currently scattered across the city in various buildings, and join together over 15 different faculties and services.
And although around 1,200 students from art, design, photography and social sciences, moved into refurbished buildings on the campus, the completion of the Central Quad and East Quad is what students were looking forward to.
Here's hoping they hurry that sonofabitch up.
