An application for grant-aid towards improvement works has been received from the management authorities of Wandesforde NS, Castlecomer, County Kilkenny. The project is awaiting the appointment of a design team to commence architectural planning.
As I announced in the 2004 school building programme, a key strategy going forward will be grounded on the budget day announcement of multiannual allocations for capital investment in education projects. All projects that are not going to construction as part of the 2004 school building programme will be re-evaluated with a view to including them as part of a multi-annual building programme from 2005 onwards.
