Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 30 June 2004
230 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Science the position in regard to the provision of extra facilities at a school (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19811/04]
View answerA 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 early stages 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 the next stage of architectural planning during 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 clarify which projects are not progressing to tender in this year's programme, including the school to which the Deputy refers. I will make a further announcement in that regard during the year.
