Minister for Education and Science (Deputy Batt O’Keeffe)

Information in respect of all Major Capital Applications currently with my Department from schools for extensions, refurbishments and improvements are available on the Department's website at www.education.ie. The information is available on a county by county basis rather than by Dáil constituency. The projects are broken down into the following categories:

Projects on site or progressing to tender and construction in 2009/10

Projects in architectural planning

Applications received in the Department but not in architectural planning.

Below is a list of such projects for County Louth for the Deputy's convenience. Estimates of cost are only available once the brief formulation for a project is complete and the project has been assessed for inclusion in the capital programme. Thereafter, it is a general policy that my Department does not release estimates in respect of individual projects due to commercial sensitivity.

My Department is currently in the process of assessing applications received from schools under the Summer Works Scheme 2010 which is designed to address necessary small-scale works to improve school buildings. Details of successful applications will be published in March 2010.
