286 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will sanction the construction of a new community school in Youghal, County Cork, to replace three existing second level schools which are amalgamating; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31094/03]
The proposed new community school for Youghal, County Cork is listed in section six of the 2003 school building programme, which is published on my Department's website at www.education.ie This proposed project is at stage 4/5 of architectural planning – detail design or bill of quantities – and has been assigned a “band 1” rating by my Department in accordance with the published criteria for prioritising large-scale projects. I intend to publish details of the 2004 school building programme this week. The programme will clarify what progress is planned for projects such as Youghal community school during 2004.
