Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 April 2004
424 Ms Enright asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding Scoil Bhríde national school, Nurney, County Kildare; if he will confirm the time scale in which the new extension will be constructed; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that through local effort and fundraising a site has been purchased; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11827/04]
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. This 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 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 tender in this year's programme. I will make a further announcement in that regard during the year.
