Vol. 507 No. 2
258 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Education and Science the timescale and funding allocated to the refurbishment programme at Coláiste Mhuire, Cearnóg Pharnell, Baile Átha Cliath 1; and when this work will commence. [16263/99]
My Department has approved in principle the refurbishment of both the primary and post-primary school buildings at Coláiste Mhuire, Parnell Square, Dublin 1. To initiate architectural design an advertisement was placed in the Official Journal of the European Community and in the national newspapers, inviting applications from appropriate disciplines for the formation of a design team for the project. Applications have just been received and are currently being evaluated in the planning and building unit of my Department. When the design team is appointed, a timescale for the architectural design of the project will be agreed. The estimated cost of the project will be identified during the design process. The question of funding will be addressed when the design process has been successfully completed.
