Vol. 526 No. 6

Written Answers. - Schools Building Projects.

Willie Penrose

Ceist:

408 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Education and Science the current stage of his Department's plans to construct a new primary school at Dysart, Mullingar, County Westmeath; when final plans will be available in relation to this school; when construction will commence; the approximate cost in this regard; if he will provide an estimate of the contribution that will have to be made towards this project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27581/00]

Architectural planning for the provision of a new two-classroom school at Dysart, Mullingar, County Westmeath is proceeding as quickly as possible having regard to the large number of school building projects on hand within my Department.

It is not possible to say at this point when construction will commence. It is not open to my Department to provide cost estimates for building projects in advance of tenders being sought as this would compromise the tendering process. The local contribution will be 5% of the total cost capped at £50,000.
