Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

The recently announced list of projects for proceeding to tender and construction over the next 12 to 15 months includes six projects in County Kerry. The projects in question are: Lisivigeen mixed NS, Killarney; St. Gertrudes, Scairt Liath; Nano Nagle Special NS, Lixnaw; Rathmore NS, Kenmare NS; and Presentation SS, Milltown.

My Department's building unit has arranged general information meetings for all such schools to guide them through the process involved in moving projects to tender and construction. The meetings will take place on 31 January and 1 February in Tullamore and all the schools in question have been invited to attend.
