Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 July 2009
830 Deputy Richard Bruton asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of schools in areas (details supplied) in County Dublin that require building work and their band rating; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28904/09]
View answerI wish to confirm that applications have been received from a number of schools in the areas to which the Deputy refers, for major capital investment. All applications for capital funding are assessed in the School Capital Appraisal Section of my Department. As part of the assessment process, a project is assigned a band rating under published prioritisation criteria for large scale building projects. These criteria were devised following consultation with the Education Partners. The following is the list of the number of projects in each Band as requested by the Deputy.
Band 1 — 2 schools;
Band 2 — 13 schools;
Band 3 — 7 schools;
Band 4 — 2 schools.
