Written Answers - Schools Building Projects.

Alan Shatter

Ceist:

261 Mr. Shatter asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will sanction the construction of the new classrooms required by Scoil Lorcáin Naofa, Kilmacud, in view of the fact that there are two classrooms which are unsuitable and three more which are substandard and grossly undersized; the position regarding the school proceeding with the required development; and if the funding required will be sanctioned. [5519/98]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

As the Deputy will be aware, the demands for capital funding in the primary sector are considerable. While I am not currently in a position to give a commitment on the funding of this project, I can assure the Deputy that the needs of the school will be considered in the context of further capital allocations.
