Amharc ar fhreagraI assume the Deputy is referring to roof refurbishment works at the school in question. I am pleased to inform the Deputy that this project is included in the summer works scheme for 2004. The school will receive grant aid in the sum of €40,000 this year to carry out the works.
298 Mr. Healy asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will approve the €1.9 million needed for the capital refurbishment of a school (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20461/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraWhen publishing the 2004 school building programme, I outlined that my strategy going forward will be grounded in capital investment based on multi-annual allocations. My officials are reviewing all projects which were not authorised to proceed to construction 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 onwards. The school referred to by the Deputy will be included in this review. I expect to be in a position to make further announcements in this matter in the course of the year.
