Olivia Mitchell

Question:

265 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for Education and Science if he can confirm immediate commencement of construction of the phase 2 building programme at Coláiste Eanna, Ballyroan, Rathfarnham, Dublin 16, for which funding has been sanctioned since October 1997 (details supplied) in view of the fact conditions at this large school are completely untenable; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18220/98]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

The building unit of my Department is currently proceeding with the architectural planning of phase 2 at Coláiste Éanna, Ballyroan. The board of management of the school recently accepted the revised schedule of accommodation for the school. It is not possible to say when construction will commence.
