The project to which the Deputy refers is at an early stage of Architectural Planning. 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 multiannual 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.

Question:223 Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Education and Science the person who appoints the company to carry out topographical land surveys and building surveying projects when building a new school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10349/09]
View answerTopographical land surveys and building surveys are generally carried out by the design team appointed to a school building project. This would normally form part of the detailed technical examination of a site as part of stage 1 of the architectural planning process. A Design Team is appointed by the client for the project, which is usually the Board of Management of the school.
