Ceist:241 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Education the up-to-date position regarding the provision of a new vocational school at Milford, County Donegal.
Written Answers. - Milford (Donegal) Vocational School.
The provision of a new vocational school building at Milford for up to 500 pupils was approved by my predecessor in December 1992.
Experience to date has convinced me of the need for a more orderly approach to the process by which major building projects are selected for release to construction each year and it is my intention that future decisions on the progress of major projects through the architectural planning process up to the signing of a contract be based on objective criteria related to relevant educational, building and financial factors.
The implementation of the decision in relation to Milford will be considered in that context as part of the substantial capital programme which my Department has on hands.
