Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Dempsey)

The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is listed in section 8 of the 2004 school building programme which is published on my Department's website at www.education.ie.

My officials are nearing completion of a review of all projects in line with the revised prioritisation criteria that resulted from consultation with the partners. The purpose of the review is to enable and inform a multi annual approach to the school building programme.

I expect to be providing details of this multi annual programme before the end of the current year. The application from the school referred to is being considered in this regard.
