Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 January 2015
424. Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding a school extension project in respect of a school (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3258/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy, is currently at an advanced stage of architectural planning. The project has been authorised to proceed to Stage 2B of Architectural Planning, which includes the applications for Planning Permission, Fire Cert and Disability Access Cert and the preparation of Tender Documents.
It is not possible to progress all projects within the Department's building programme to construction concurrently due to competing demands on the Department's capital budget. However, school building projects, including this project, which have not been included in the five year construction programme or included in the most recent announced list of projects, but which were previously initiated, will continue to be progressed to final planning stages in anticipation of the possibility of further funds being available to the Department in the future.
