Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 May 2008
315 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will include a school (details supplied) in County Roscommon on the list of schools in developing areas; if he will facilitate a meeting between the board of management and his officials on the future development of the school; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has received an application for major capital funding for the school to which the Deputy refers. The school in question has not been selected for designation as a developing area school. The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage to construction phase will be considered in an ongoing basis in the context of my Department's multi-annual school building and modernisation programme. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of these projects at this time.
