201 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Education and Science if attention will be given to the application by Ballyca national school, Ennis, County Clare for a school extension which is needed for the future growth in the near future; if the project will be included for the budgetary allocation for 2004; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28349/03]
I presume the Deputy is referring to Ballyea mixed national school, Ennis, County Clare, roll No. 13418. The proposed large-scale building project for Ballyea mixed national school is listed in section 7 of the 2003 school building programme which is published on my Department's website at www.education.ie This proposed project is at stage two, developed sketch, of architectural planning. It has been assigned a band two rating by my Department in accordance with the published criteria for prioritising large-scale projects. I intend to publish details of the 2004 school building programme by early January at the latest. The programme will clarify what progress is planned for projects such as Ballyea mixed national school during 2004.
