Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 July 2011
100 Deputy Noel Coonan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a school (details supplied) in County Tipperary has made an application for additional funding or any building works; the status of same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20484/11]
View answerThe school to which the Deputy refers has applied to my Department for large-scale capital funding for an extension. The application has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large-scale building projects and assigned a Band 2 rating. Information in respect of the current school building programme along with all assessed applications for major capital works, including the project referred to by the Deputy, is available on the Department's website at www.education.ie.
All large-scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction phase are being progressed in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme and the available financial resources. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of my Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.
