Vol. 553 No. 4

Written Answers. - Schools Building Projects.

Cecilia Keaveney

Question:

91 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for Education and Science when works are expected to commence to a school (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14234/02]

Architectural planning for a building project at the school referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage. Decisions on projects proceeding to tender and construction are taken in the light of the annual allocation for primary school buildings, the financial commitments to be met and the priority to be afforded to individual projects.

An extensive building programme for 2002 has already been approved and published. It is not envisaged that the proposed building project referred to by the Deputy will proceed to construction in 2002.

Later this year, when a financial allocation has been made for the primary school building programme in the 2003 Estimates, I will frame a further comprehensive programme of works that will proceed to construction. The school concerned will be one of those considered for inclusion in that programme.

I intend to bring greater transparency to the operation of the school building programme and to publish the programme annually. I am also anxious to build a multi-annual dimension into the published programme so that schools will have an indication of the expected timelines relating to their project.
