Andrew Doyle

Ceist:

292 Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for Education and Science the published prioritisation criteria for large scale capital funding projects for schools; the reason a school (details supplied) in County Wicklow has not been assigned band one rating in view of the fact that the school had an approval for an extension six years ago which has never happened and the fact that the classroom requirement has doubled from eight to 16.

Minister for Education and Science (Deputy Mary Hanafin)

As the Deputy will be aware, all applications for large scale capital funding are assessed against published prioritisation criteria. Progress on individual projects, such as the one in question, will be considered in the context of the multi-Annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
