142 Ms Enright asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding Loretto Convent primary, Gorey, in the building programme; when he expects building work to commence; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13139/04]
View answerThe large-scale building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is listed in section 8 of the 2004 school building programme which is published on my Department's website at www.education.ie This project is at stage 3, developed sketch scheme, 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 advanced architectural planning during 2004.
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 Loretto primary school. I will make a further announcement in that regard during the year.
