Vol. 568 No. 5
277 Ms O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Education and Science if the deterioration condition of Littleton national school, County Tipperary, is being considered by his Department in prioritising schools to be included in the 2004 building programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16755/03]
The management authorities at Littleton national school have applied for grant aid towards improvement works at the school. On the basis of the budgetary allocation it was not possible to make provision for this project in 2003. The budgetary allocation for 2004 and subsequent years will determine the rate of progress on projects that could not be included in this year's programme. In the meantime, individual schools should use their devolved grant to deal with any urgent health and safety works.
