The 2003 school building programme has been published and details in relation to individual projects are now available on my Department's website at www.education.ie.
The PE hall project at Firhouse Community College is at an advanced stage of architectural planning, that is, pre-tender, and is included in section 6 of the published programme. However, given the level of financial commitments to be met from projects already in construction, my Department does not envisage that it will be in a position during this year to allow architectural planning for large scale projects to progress beyond their current authorised stage. The project at Firhouse Community College will, however, be considered for the 2004 capital programme.
