Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 January 2004
238 Mr. McGinley asked the Minister for Education and Science his plans to provide a new school for Magh Ene College, Bundoran, County Donegal; the position regarding the matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2344/04]
View answerThe proposed large-scale building project for Magh Ene College, Bundoran, County Donegal is listed in section 8 of the 2004 school building programme which is published on my Department's website at www.education.ie. This proposed project is at an advanced stage of architectural planning, i.e. pre-tender stage. It has been assigned a band 2 rating by my Department in accordance with the published criteria for prioritising large-scale projects.
Indicative timescales have been included in the school building programme for large-scale projects proceeding to tender in 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 in this year's programme. I will make a further announcement in that regard during the year.
