Vol. 428 No. 5
235 Mr. Shatter asked the Minister for Education if funds will be made available in 1993 for the construction of the extension to Coláiste Éanna, Ballyroan, to replace the 18 year old prefabricated buildings; when she intends to sanction the commencement of construction works; and if she will make a statement on the current position.
Architectural planning of an extension to provide additional accommodation at this school is proceeding but the project will not be ready to go to tender until later this year.
The prefabricated accommodation at this school while old, has been well maintained. It is considered to be in fair condition and does not warrant replacement at this stage. Some minimal remedial repairs are being grant aided.
It has not been possible to include this project in the 1993 second level capital programme because of other demands deemed to be of a higher priority which had to take precedence. It will continue to be considered for inclusion in the programme in the light of available resources and other commitments and priorities.
