Written Answers. - Schools Building Projects.
The large-scale building project for St. Colman's national school 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 4-5 – detailed design stage – of architectural planning. It has been assigned a “band three” 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.
