Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 November 2004
230 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Education and Science if her attention has been drawn to the difficulties caused as a result of the central heating breaking down in the hall of a school (details supplied) in Dublin 9; her views on whether this seriously restricts the activities of the school; and if she will give approval for emergency works to be carried out without delay. [30829/04]
View answerThe school in question has recently been informed by my Department that it is to receive emergency funding for the works outlined.
231 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Education and Science if her attention has been drawn to the conditions at a primary school (details supplied) in County Mayo, in particular to the fact that pupils only have access to an outside toilet; the position regarding this school’s application for funding; and when she expects to provide funding to this school. [30832/04]
View answerThe application for an extension or refurbishment at 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.
