Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 April 2004
400 Mr. S. Power asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding the application by Scoil Bhríde, Nurney, County Kildare, for a new school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11677/04]
View answerA large-scale building project for Scoil Bhríde, Nurney, County Kildare, is listed in section 9 of the 2004 school building programme, which is published on my Department's website at www.education.ie. That project is at early stages 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.
It is planned to progress this project to the next stage of architectural planning during 2004.
The budget announcement regarding multiannual capital envelopes will enable me to adopt a multiannual framework for the school building programme, which in turn will give greater clarity regarding projects that are not progressing to tender in this year's programme. I will make a further announcement in that regard during the year.
