Vol. 547 No. 1

Written Answers. - Schools Building Projects.

Emmet Stagg

Ceist:

1320 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Education and Science when the architectural planning in respect of the building project for Gaelscoil Uí Fhiach, Maynooth, County Kildare, is likely to be completed; the extent of the project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2387/02]

The allocation for primary buildings in 2002 is 153.6 million, which is a record level of funding and demonstrates this Government's commitment to improving the accommodation situation in primary schools. This is almost four times the previous Government's investment in 1997. In view of the greatly increased level of activity in the primary buildings area since this Government came into office, there has been a substantial increase in the number of major and minor building projects in construction and this has given rise to a record level of building and refurbishment activity. A proposed building project for Gaelscoil Uí Fhiach will proceed to architectural planning and to the preparation of tender documents, as soon as it is possible to do so, under the expanded building programme.

Gaelscoil Cillchoca is being refurbished as part of the Government's programme and is currently in architectural planning. It will continue to the preparation of tender documents and the invitation to tenders, as soon as it is possible to do so, under the expanded building programme.
