Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 May 2013
239. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding an application for a school (details supplied) in County Wexford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25215/13]
View answerThe Building Project for the school referred to by the Deputy is currently at an advanced stage of architectural planning. Due to competing demands on my 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 five year construction programme announced last year. 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 previously initiated will continue to be progressed to final planning stages in anticipation of the possibility of further funds being available to the Department in the future.
