Vol. 392 No. 7

Written Answers. - Castlebar College.

183.

asked the Minister for Education the present stage of planning for extra accommodation for Davitt College, Castlebar, County Mayo, which has been requested by Mayo Vocational Education Committee; and, in view of a recent An Bord Pleanála decision regarding a site boundary difficulty, if she will make a statement on the developments regarding the accommodation being provided.

The plans for the proposed extension to Davitt College, Castlebar have reached Stage 3 (developed sketch scheme) of my Department's design team procedures. The result of a planning appeal by County Mayo VEC to An Bord Pleanála has been notified to my Department and is currently being examined.

The rate at which this project and other such projects can proceed is dependent on the availability of capital resources and on my Department's commitments and priorities. Accordingly, I am not in a position at present to indicate when the planning of the project will be advanced.
