Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 February 2005
33 Mr. McGinley asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding the provision of a new vocational school for Stranorlar in County Donegal; and the plans for the disposal of the present school building. [2984/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning.
I recently announced details of 122 major school building projects that will progress to tender and construction phase over the next 12 to 15 months under the €3.4 billion multi-annual funding secured for the years 2005 to 2009.
I am anxious to ensure that a consistent flow of projects to tender and construction can be sustained into the future. I plan to make a number of announcements in the near future in relation to the schools building and modernisation programme including details of those school projects which will further progress through the design process.
All projects in architectural planning, including the school in question, will be considered as part of this process.
