Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 September 2008
1642 Deputy Michael Kennedy asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding all school building projects relating to a school (details supplied) in County Dublin in view of the number of young children waiting on a confirmed school place for 2008/2009; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29276/08]
View answerThe Department is aware of the accommodation pressures being experienced by the school referred to by the Deputy. The project at this school has a band rating of 1, the highest priority that the Department assigns to major capital projects. A design team has yet to be appointed to the project.
The progression of the school's major capital project will be considered on an on-going basis in the context of the Department's Multi-Annual School Building and Modernisation Programme and is of course subject to the availability of capital resources.
