Details of capital expenditure in respect of the schools to which the Deputy refers in the Dublin 15 area are contained in the following table.

The position regarding applications for major capital funding in each school is as follows:

My Department has no current applications from these schools for major capital funding.

2. Coolmine CS — RN: 91315O, Castleknock College — RN: 60100Q and Mount Sackville Secondary School — RN: 60120W.

Each of these schools has an application with my Department for major capital funding. The projects in question have been assigned a band 2 priority rating under the published prioritisation criteria for large scale building works.

Progress on these projects is being considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme from 2007 onwards.
