Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 November 2004
454 Mr. Crawford asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding the application by a school (details supplied) in County Monaghan for refurbishment or extension; when the funding will be made available; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26910/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department sanctioned a maximum grant level of €200,000 for the school in question as part of a devolved initiative under the 2004 school building programme. The initiative allows boards of management to address their accommodation and building priorities with a guaranteed amount of funding and gives them control of the building project. It is my understanding that the initial grant of planning permission has been received from the local authority, preparatory work is ongoing on the application for fire certificate and tender documents.
