Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 April 2004
158 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Education and Science if his Department has decided to proceed with the refurbishment or extension to Scoil an Ghleanna, An Daingean, Chontae Chiarraí (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12247/04]
View answerThe large scale building project for the school referred to by the Deputy 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 stage 1 — site suitability, briefing and site report — of architectural planning. It has been assigned a band 3 rating by my Department in accordance with the published criteria for prioritising large scale projects.
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 school building programme which in turn will give greater clarity regarding projects that are not progressing to tender in this year's programme including Scoil an Ghleanna. I will make a further announcement in that regard during the year.
