Question:

147 Dr. Upton asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding an application by a school (details supplied) in Dublin 8 for major capital works; and the issues that require clarification. [11529/05]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

As part of a review of all projects for the 2005 capital programme, an application for capital funding from the school referred to by the Deputy was assessed against the published prioritisation criteria for large-scale building projects which were revised last year following consultation with the education partners.

Under this review, all projects were assigned a band rating and the progress of individual projects is being considered in the context of the school building programme from 2005 onwards.
