Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 July 2004
246 Mr. Crawford asked the Minister for Education and Science the situation regarding the promised restructuring and extension of a school (details supplied) in County Cavan; if the management, teachers and pupils will be a priority; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20021/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraA large-scale building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is listed in section 9 of the 2004 school building programme which is published on my Department's website at www.education.ie. This project is at early stages 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.
My officials are reviewing all projects, which were not authorised to proceed as part of the 2004 school building programme, with a view to including them as part of a multi-annual school building programme from 2005 and I expect to be in a position to make further announcements on this matter in the course of the year. The proposed project for the school referred to by the Deputy will be considered in this regard.
