Emmet Stagg

Question:

330 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Education and Science if approval in relation to the provision of temporary accommodation at Sallins national school, Sallins, County Kildare, issued to the school's board of management; the level of temporary accommodation approved; if the temporary accommodation will be in place for the opening of the new school year in September 2003; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5343/03]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Dempsey)

The 2003 schools building programme has now been published and full details in relation to individual projects are available on my Department's website at www.education.ie.

On the basis of the budgetary allocation, it was not possible to include any further temporary accommodation projects in 2003. The budgetary allocation for 2004 and subsequent years will determine the rate of progress on projects that could not be included in this year's programme.
