Vol. 566 No. 5
90 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason a number of works (details supplied) were not included in the extension for Coolmeen national school, County Clare; the reason the costs of these works have to be borne by the board of management; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13298/03]
The additional works referred to by the Deputy were outside the scope of the brief for the project undertaken at Coolmeen national school.
The 2003 building programme was published in January and, based on the budgetary allocation, it is not possible to make provision for any further works at this school.
The board of management may use funds allocated by my Department under the terms of the grant scheme for minor works to help fund these additional works, provided such funds are not required for more urgent and immediate works.
