Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 March 2009
484 Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Education and Science, further to Parliamentary Question No. 518 of 29 October 2008, the status of a school building project (details supplied) in County Clare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9494/09]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, my Department has received a major capital application from the school to which he refers. This project has a band rating of 2.1 under my Department's published prioritisation criteria for major capital projects. The building project is awaiting the appointment of a Design Team.
The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction phase will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.
