Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 April 2015
22. Deputy Brian Stanley asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will consider, as a matter of priority, the inclusion of the proposed new co-educational primary school for Monasterevin in County Kildare in the five-year construction programme. [15322/15]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that the building project to host the proposed amalgamation of the two schools in Monasterevin is at an early stage of the architectural planning process. Following the Pre Stage 1 meeting held last November, both Boards of Management and their Design Team are working on finalising the Stage 1 report for submission to my Department. Upon satisfactory completion of Stage 1 and subject to no issues arising, the project will be authorised to progress to Stage 2(a), which is the developed sketch design stage.
It is intended that school building projects in architectural planning, including this project, will be progressed to final planning stages so that they will be well placed for consideration in the context of future construction programmes.
