My Department's post-primary building unit is in receipt of revised tenders for the provision of a covered walkway at Confey College, Leixlip, County Kildare. The 2003 capital programme has been published and full details in relation to individual projects are available on my Department's website, www.education.ie. On the basis of the budgetary allocation it was not possible to include this project in the list of new projects to commence in 2003. The project will be considered again in the context of the 2004 capital programme.
