Seán Haughey (Dublin North Central, Fianna Fail)

The Department did not use stalling tactics. It is not the Department's policy. Projects are assessed each year in the context of the Department's multi-annual school building and modernisation programme. The project in question will be considered in this context in 2010.

The school's rating is 2.2, but band ratings are considered on an ongoing basis and can change over the years. The Department is committed to this project, which is at stage 2(a).
