The acquisition of a site for the provision of a new school building for Gaelscoil Uí Riordáin Ballincollig, County Cork, is being pursued at present. Due to the commercial sensitivities of site acquisitions, it is not proposed at this stage to provide details relating to specific sites to be acquired. However, this information will be placed on my Department's website when the relevant acquisitions have been completed.
When publishing the 2004 schools 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 which were not authorised to proceed as part of the 2004 school building programme, with a view to including them as part of a multi-annual schools building programme from 2005 and I expect to be in a position to make further announcements on this matter in the course of the year. The proposed project for Gaelscoil Uí Riordáin will be included in this review.
