Vol. 548 No. 2
445 Mrs. B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding the application by Anabla national school, Kilcummin, Killarney, County Kerry for the provision of a general purpose room; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4555/02]
The allocation for primary buildings in 2002 is €153.6 million, which is a record level of funding and demonstrates this Government's commitment to improving the accommodation situation in primary schools. This is almost four times the previous Government's investment in 1997.
Due to the greatly increased level of activity in the primary buildings area since this Government came into office, there has been a substantial increase in the number of major and minor building projects in construction and this has given rise to a record level of building and refurbishment activity.
A proposed building project for Anabla national school, Kilcummin, Killarney will proceed to architectural planning and to the preparation of tender documents, as soon as possible, under the expanded building programme.
