Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 October 2009
583 Deputy George Lee asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the need to provide funding for a school (details supplied) in Dublin 18 to progress with a building project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36770/09]
View answerThe project to which the Deputy refers is currently 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 is dependent on the prioritisation of competing demands on the funding available under the Department's capital budget. The proposed building project will be considered in the context of the Department's multi-annual school building and modernisation programme for 2010 and subsequent years. 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 delivery of the project at this time.
