Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

An application for the provision of a new school for the Gaelscoil in Clonakilty is being considered as part of a review of all projects that did not proceed to construction as part of the 2004 school building programme. All projects are being assessed against the published prioritisation criteria, revised earlier this year following consultation with the education partners. Each project will be assigned a band rating and the progress of all projects will be considered in the context of the school building programme from 2005 onwards.
