Vol. 572 No. 6

Written Answers. - Schools Building Projects.

Pat Carey

Ceist:

213 Mr. Carey asked the Minister for Education and Science the progress which has been made in 2003 in advancing the application of St. Canice's boys' school, Finglas, Dublin 11, for the refurbishment of the school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23981/03]

The project for St. Canice's boys' school, Finglas, Dublin 11, is listed in section 6 of the 2003 school building programme which is published on my Department's website at www.education.ie. This project is at stage 4 to 5 of architectural planning – pre-tender documents. It has been assigned a band one rating by my Department in accordance with the published criteria for prioritising large-scale projects. Projects listed in sections 6 and 7 will not be authorised to progress beyond their current stage of architectural planning at this time.

Budgetary provisions in 2004 and subsequent years will determine the rate of progression to tender and construction of these projects in conjunction with the band rating individually assigned. In the meantime, individual schools should, as appropriate, use their devolved grant to deal with any urgent health and safety works.
