Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 January 2010
349 Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Education and Science further to Parliamentary Question No. 394 of 15 December 2009, when a technical visit will take place at a school (details supplied) in County Clare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2787/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, the school to which he refers has made an application to my Department for Major Capital funding for an extension including ancillary accommodation. The application has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale building projects and assigned a Band 2 rating.
Officials from my Department will contact the school shortly with regard to arranging a technical visit.
The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction is dependent on the prioritisation of competing demands on the funding available under the Department's capital budget.
The proposed building project for this school, will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme for 2010 and subsequent years.
