Ceist:151 Mr. S. Ryan asked the Minister for Education and Science the situation regarding the need for an extension or a new school for St. Cronan's junior and senior national schools, Swords, County Dublin. [22997/02]
Written Answers. - Schools Building Projects.
The building project at St. Cronan's junior national school is at an advanced stage of architectural planning. Decisions relating to the rate of progress to construction of individual projects will be taken in the light of the allocation made for school building purposes in the Estimates for 2003. In this context, I will publish details of the expenditure proposals in the new year. It is not possible at this point to say when construction will commence. In view of current financial circumstances, my Department is not in a position to initiate architectural planning for a major project at the school.
