Question:

259 Mr. G. Murphy asked the Minister for Education and Science the position with regard to providing funding for a new national school at Cullen, Mallow, County Cork. [13688/06]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the school in question has accepted the grant to build a new three-teacher school under the 2006 small schools scheme that I announced recently. The initiative operates on a devolved basis and allows boards of management to address their accommodation and building priorities with a guaranteed amount of funding and allows them control over the pace at which building works proceed.
