Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 March 2004
250 Mr. Kelleher asked the Minister for Education and Science the situation regarding the school building programme for An Scoil tAthair Tadgh, Carrig na bhFear, County Cork; when he envisages this project being completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7594/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe proposed large-scale building project for An Scoil tAthair Tadgh, Carrig na bhFear, County Cork is listed in section 8 of the 2004 school building programme which is published on my Department's website at www.education.ie. This proposed project is at stage 4 and 5 — detail design and bills of quantities — of architectural planning. It has been assigned a band 3 rating by my Department in accordance with the published criteria for prioritising large-scale projects. Indicative timescales have been included for large-scale projects proceeding to tender in 2004. The budget announcement regarding multiannual capital envelopes will enable me to adopt a multiannual 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.
