133 Mr. Crowe asked the Minister for Education and Science the accommodation and structural needs of the schools in the Killnaroan and Knockmore areas of Tallaght, Dublin 24. [22773/02]
134 Mr. Crowe asked the Minister for Education and Science if his Department expressed the view to South Dublin County Council's planning department that there was adequate space in the existing schools for pupils when the plans were being drawn up in the Killnaroan and Killtipper action plan in September 2000; and if his Department has revised their position on this issue. [22774/02]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 132 to 134, inclusive, together.
135 Mr. Crowe asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the overcrowded conditions in Scoil Caitlín Maude, Tamhlacht; and if he will make a statement outlining the working conditions in the school for pupils and teachers. [22775/02]
The authorities of three schools located on the same site, including Scoil Chaitlín Maude, have applied to my Department for grant-aid towards the provision of security measures, an extension to the car park and replacement of windows. Tender documentation has been received by my Department to have windows and doors replaced at all three schools and architectural planning is at an early stage for the remaining works. Decisions relating to the rate of progress to construction of individual projects will be taken in the light of the allocation made for school building purposes in the Estimates for 2003. In this context, I will publish details of the expenditure proposals in the new year. It is not possible at this point to say when construction will commence.
