Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 October 2004
328 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Education and Science when the application for the refurbishment and extension proposed for a school (detail supplied) in County Clare will go into advance architectural planning; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26464/04]
View answerThe extension-refurbishment project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning. It has a band 2 rating. My Department's technical staff are currently examining the stage 3 submission, detailed plans-costs, and the school authorities will be kept informed of developments.
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.
