Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Dempsey)

I have previously announced my intention to publish, for the first time ever, a multi-annual school building programme.

My officials are nearing completion of a review of all projects in line with the revised prioritisation criteria that resulted from consultation with the partners. The purpose of the review is to enable and inform a multi-annual approach to the school building programme.

I expect to be providing details of this multi-annual programme before the end of the current year.

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Ahern)

My Department is unaware of the developments referred to by the Deputy. If details are provided to school planning section, it will be happy to pursue the matter.
