Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 March 2004
89 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Education and Science about an allocation of funding for a sports centre at Davitt College, Castlebar; the date approval, in principle, was given for it; the progress made; and if moneys will be made available in 2004 for it. [9331/04]
View answerThe proposed sports hall is listed in section 8 of the 2004 schools building programme that is published on my Department's website at www.education.ie. The project is at stages 4 and 5, detail design and bill of quantities, of architectural planning.
Indicative timescales have been included for large scale projects proceeding to tender in 2004. The budget announcement on multi-annual capital envelopes will enable me to adopt a framework for the building programme. It will give great clarity about projects that are not progressing in this year's programme, including Davitt College. I will make another announcement during the year.
