Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 January 2016
147. Deputy Shane Ross asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason for the long-standing delay in giving the go-ahead for the much needed extension at a school (details supplied) in County Dublin; if she will give a commitment to include it in the final list of school building programmes to be announced during the lifetime of this Government, expected in the coming days; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy may be aware, in the management of a capital programme, periodically it is necessary to review the scheduling of construction projects within the overall programme. In this context, my Department is currently conducting an expenditure profiling exercise, which will determine when projects, including the project referred to by the Deputy, can advance to site. When the expenditure profiling is complete, the Department will be in contact with the school in relation to the further progression of the project.
