Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 December 2005
458 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Education and Science the delay in progressing the proposed building development for a school (details supplied) in County Dublin; the reason her Department initially intended to increase accommodation at the school but subsequently altered that decision; the status of the proposed development; when building is likely to commence; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe project at the school to which the Deputy refers has been reassessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large-scale building projects. Following that reassessment, it is proposed to provide for 425 pupil places at the school. The level of accommodation being provided will meet the needs of a school in future, taking all up-to-date influences into consideration.
The proposed works are being considered in the context of the school building and modernisation programme from 2006 onwards.
