The school to which the Deputy refers has applied for grant aid towards refurbishment works. All projects that are not going to construction as part of the 2004 school building programme are being re-evaluated with a view to including them as part of a multi-annual programme from 2005 onwards. The school in question will be included in this process during which a brief for the school will be finalised. My Department has, as part of the 2004 summer works scheme, sanctioned a grant in the amount of €15,233, inclusive of fees and VAT, or 90% of the total cost of the works, whichever is the lesser, for roof repairs at the school.

View answerThe property management section of the OPW, which deals with site acquisitions on behalf of my Department, is exploring the possibility of acquiring a site for Kill national school, Kill, County Kildare. Due to the commercial sensitivities of site acquisitions, it is not proposed to identify specific sites to be acquired. This information, however, will be placed on my Department's website when the relevant acquisitions have been completed. The provision of new accommodation for the school will be considered further when a site has been acquired.
