A project for the construction of a two classroom extension, provision of ancillary accommodation and the refurbishment of the existing school building at Moyglass national school has completed the early stages of architectural planning. I am committed to the refurbishment of the school as is evidenced by the pro gress made to date in relation to the design of improvements. My Department will be in contact with the school authorities as soon as possible in relation to progressing the project to the later stages of architectural planning and the invitation of tenders.
The allocation for primary buildings in 2002 is €153.6 million, which is a record level of funding and demonstrates the Government's commitment to improving the accommodation situation in primary schools.
