Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 May 2004
172 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason Scoil Íosagáin, Farranree, Cork, which was sanctioned for a new sports hall several years ago has not received the final sanction to proceed to tender; the stage the project is at; and when it will be allowed to go to tender. [12568/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe building project — a GP room at Scoil Íosagáin, Farranree, Cork — referred to by the Deputy is listed in section 8 of the 2004 schools building programme, which is published on my Department's website, www.education.ie The project is at stage 4/5, pre-tender documents, of architectural planning. It has been assigned a band 4 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 multi-annual capital envelopes will enable me to adopt a multi-annual framework for the schools building programme, which in turn will give greater clarity regarding projects that are not progressing to tender in this year’s programme, including Scoil Íosagáin. I will make a further announcement in that regard during the year.
