Vol. 570 No. 2
250 Mr. S. Power asked the Minister for Education and Science if his Department received an application for an extension to St. Brigid's national school, Ticknevin, Carbury; his Department's plan for the school; and when work is likely to commence. [18271/03]
The 2003 capital programme has now been published and full details in relation to individual projects are available on my Department's website at www.education.ie. An application for improved accommodation has been received from the management authorities of St. Brigid's national school. However, my Department does not intend to allow further large-scale projects into architectural planning during 2003. The timing of when individual projects can progress to architectural planning will depend on the budgetary allocation for 2004 and subsequent years, the rate of progress with existing projects in architectural planning and the priority afforded to each project by reference to the published criteria for prioritising large-scale building projects.
