Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 11 February 2004
184 Ms B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding the provision of a new boys national school in Rathmore, County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4079/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe proposed large scale building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is listed in section 8 of the 2004 school building programme which is published on my Department's web site at www.education.ie. This proposed project is at an early stage of architectural planning. It has been assigned a band 1 rating by my Department in accordance with the published criteria for prioritising large scale projects.
Indicative time scales have been included for large scale projects proceeding to tender in 2004. The budget announcement regarding multi-annual capital envelopes will enable me to adopt a multi-annual framework for the school building programme which in turn will give greater clarity regarding projects that are not progressing in this year's programme. I will make a further announcement in that regard during the year.
