Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 October 2012
173. Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Education and Skills if funding remains in place for the construction of an extension to be used as a gym facility at a college (details supplied) in Dublin 15. [41828/12]
View answerThe major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning. Due to competing demands on the Department's capital budget imposed by the need to prioritise the limited funding available for the provision of additional school accommodation to meet increasing demographic requirements it was not possible to include this project in the 5 year construction programme announced in March. School building projects, including the project referred to by the Deputy, which have not been included in the five year construction programme, but which were announced for initial inclusion in the building programme will continue to be progressed to final planning stages in anticipation of the possibility of further funds being available to the Department in future years.
