Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 July 2004
127 Ms Enright asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the lack of facilities at a school (details supplied) in County Laois; if he will provide funding to the school for the provision of toilet facilities; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe school to which the Deputy refers is included in section 8 of the 2004 school building programme. All projects that did not proceed to construction as part of the 2004 programme are currently under review with the view to including them as part of a multi-annual programme from 2005, details of which will be announced later this year.
However, it is open to the school's management authority to apply for the key priority works required at the school as part of the 2005 summer works scheme, details of which will be posted on my Department's website, www.education.ie, later this year. In the interim the school authorities should use funding under the grant scheme for minor works to deal with any urgent works that are required at the school.
