Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 February 2004
61 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for Education and Science the position in relation to the building project for Curracloe national school, Curracloe, Enniscorthy, County Wexford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5267/04]
View answerThe proposed large scale building project for Curracloe national school, Curracloe, Enniscorthy, County Wexford is listed in section 8 of the 2004 schools building programme, which is published on my Department's website, www.education.ie. The proposed project is at stage 3 — detailed plans, costs — of architectural planning. It has been assigned a band 2 rating by my Department in accordance with the published criteria for prioritising large scale projects. The proposed project will be authorised to progress to advanced architectural planning during 2004. Indicative timescales have been included 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 schools 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.
