The large scale building project for Curranes national school, Castleisland, County Kerry is listed in section 6 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 and bill of quantities – and has been assigned a “band 2” 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 Curranes national school during 2004.
