Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 June 2004
221 Mr. Carey asked the Minister for Education and Science if sufficient resources will be found within the 2004 budget to fund the purchase of even one of the two small prefabricated classroom buildings already sanctioned as being necessary for the proper operation of a school (details supplied) in Dublin 11; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerAll applications for temporary accommodation have been considered by the school planning section of my Department. In the context of the available funding and the number of applications for that funding, it was not possible to approve all applications received and only those with an absolute and demonstrated need for additional accommodation were approved.
The need for additional accommodation at the school to which the Deputy refers will be considered in the context of a review which is being undertaken of all projects that did not proceed as part of the 2004 school building programme with a view to including it as part of a multi-annual school building programme from 2005, details of which will be announced later in the year.
