View answer259 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Science if, arising from the 2005 Estimates, she expects to be in a position to meet the outstanding requirements at a school (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30900/04]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 256 and 259 together.
The applications from the schools to which the Deputy refers are being considered as part of a review of all projects which did not proceed to construction as part of the 2004 school building programme. Under this review, all projects are being assessed against the published prioritisation criteria which were 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.
