Vol. 565 No. 1

Written Answers. - Schools Building Projects.

John Bruton

Question:

194 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason Scoil Fatima in Drogheda has not been granted funds to allow for the redevelopment of the new school; if he has any interim plans for the school to alleviate the stressful conditions in which students and teachers must learn; when it is proposed that the new school will be built; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10134/03]

The 2003 school building programme has now been published and full details in relation to individual projects are available on my Department's website at www.education.ie.

On the basis of the budgetary allocation it was not possible to include any further projects in 2003. The budgetary allocation for 2004 and subsequent years will determine the rate of progress on applications that could not be included in this year's programme. In the meantime, individual schools should use their devolved grant to deal with any urgent health and safety works.
