Ceisteanna (274, 275)

Bernard J. Durkan

Ceist:

274 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Science when he expects to allocate the balance of grant aid available to encourage participation in the sciences to the authorities at a school (details supplied) in County Kildare; if his attention has been drawn to the urgent need in view of the fact that the school is expected to respond to and participate in the policy decisions announced by his Department; if his attention has further been drawn to the damage likely to the schools junior syllabus in the event of further delays; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 274 and 275 together.

My Department is currently examining all the applications received and upon completion of this process will issue payments to all eligible schools. To facilitate schools participating in this process, it is the intention of my Department's school building unit to have finalised this examination by mid April 2004 at the latest and to proceed at that time with the issuing of the relevant grant aid.
