Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 October 2004
311 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Education and Science when work is expected to commence in respect of the extension to a school (details supplied) in County Carlow; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26044/04]
View answerThe extension project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning. It has a band three rating.
My officials are nearing completion of a review of all projects which did not proceed to construction as part of the 2004 school building programme with a view to including them as part of a multi-annual programme from 2005. All projects are being assessed against the published prioritisation criteria, agreed earlier this year with the education partners. Each project will be assigned a band rating and the progress of all projects will be considered in the context of the programme from 2005. Following conclusion of the current Estimates and budgetary process, I intend to publish the 2005 building programme which will operate in a multi-annual framework.
