Vol. 510 No. 6
393 Mr. Currie asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason for the further delay in the completion of phase 2A at Castleknock community college, Dublin 15; when this section of phase 2 will be available for occupation; if the delay will mean a postponement of the completion of this phase and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23410/99]
I am pleased to inform the Deputy that Phase 2(A) of the building project at Castleknock Community College is practically complete. It is expected that the additional accommodation will be available for occupation shortly.
The completion of this project fell behind schedule initially due to the scaffolders strike and latterly due to a delay in connecting electricity, both of which were outside of the control of County Dublin Vocational Education Committee. The Deputy will be aware that I have accorded this project a high priority and that it has directly benefited from this Government's major expansion in funding for second level school building projects.
