The large scale building project for Presentation Convent national school is listed in section 8 of the 2004 school building programme which is published on my Department's website at www.education.ie. It has been assigned a “band 2” rating by my Department in accordance with the published criteria for prioritising large scale projects and the project will be authorised to proceed to advanced architectural planning during 2004.
The budget announcement regarding multi-annual capital envelopes will enable me to adopt a multi-annual framework for the school building programme which, in turn, will give greater clarity regarding projects that are not progressing to construction in this year's programme. I will make a further announcement in that regard during the year.
