Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 July 2009
615 Deputy Noel J. Coonan asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding additional accommodation in respect of a school (details supplied) in County Tipperary; when the project will proceed to the next stage; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27609/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers made an application to my Department for large scale capital funding for an extension. The application has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale building projects and assigned a band 2.3 rating.
The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction phase will be considered in the context of the 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 the project at this time
