Vol. 528 No. 1
402 Mrs. Owen asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason for the delay in approving documentation submitted by a school (details supplied) in county Dublin; and if he will approve refurbishment and rebuilding of parts of this school. [29371/00]
An application has been received in my Department, from the management authority of the school to which the Deputy refers, for the replacement of prefabs, the replacement of a building on the school campus and some new extension work.
Consistent with normal practice, in advance of committing capital resources to a school, it is standard procedure to assess each school's long-term viability. The planning unit of my Department is undertaking this process currently.
