Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 April 2004
444 Ms O’Sullivan asked the Minister for Education and Science if his Department officials will immediately apply for planning permission to build a new school for Eureka secondary school on the designated site on Cavan Road, Kells, County Meath; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerWhen publishing the 2004 school building programme, I outlined that my strategy going forward will be grounded in capital investment based on multi-annual allocations. My officials are reviewing all projects that were not authorised to proceed to construction as part of the 2004 school building programme with a view to including them as part of a multi-annual school building programme from 2005. I expect to be in a position to make further announcements in the course of the year to update schools in the context of the multi-annual programme of works including public-private partnerships.
The application for a new post-primary school for Eureka, Kells, will be considered in this regard.
