Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 November 2004
482 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Education and Science the progress made on the application submitted for a school (details supplied) in County Sligo for grant aid for major capital improvement works; when it will be approved in view of the inadequate facilities that exist; the progress made on its application for temporary accommodation; the reason for the delays; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27205/04]
View answerAn application for grant aid towards an extension and refurbishment has been received from the management authority of the school referred to by the Deputy.
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. Each project will be assigned a band rating and the progress of all projects will be considered in the context of the multi-annual programme. The accommodation needs of the school referred to are being considered as part of this review.
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.
