Question:

431 Mr. McGinley asked the Minister for Education and Science the stage an application for a school (details supplied) in County Donegal is at under the small schools initiative; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29762/04]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

The application from the school to which the Deputy refers is being considered as part of a review of all projects which did not proceed to construction as part of the 2004 school building programme. All projects are being assessed against the published prioritisation criteria, revised earlier this year following consultation 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 school building programme from 2005 onwards.
