Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Mary Coughlan)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 71 and 72 together.

Information in respect of the current school building programme along with all assessed applications for major capital works, including projects for Waterford, is available on my Department's website at www.education.ie.

However, for the Deputy's convenience, I am setting out below the relevant extracts from my Department's website for Waterford City and County for both primary and post primary schools.

All applications for major capital projects are assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale building projects and assigned a Band rating. The priority attaching to individual projects is determined by published prioritisation criteria, which were formulated following consultation with the Education Partners. There are four band ratings under these criteria, each of which describes the extent of accommodation required and the urgency attaching to it. Band 1 is the highest priority rating and Band 4 is the lowest. Documents explaining the band rating system are also available on my Department's website.

The progression of all large scale building projects from initial design stage through to construction phase will be considered 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 each individual project at this time.
