The large-scale building project for Kilmuckridge vocational school, Kilmuckridge, Gorey, is listed in section 8 of the 2004 school building programme which is published on my Department's website at www.education.ie This project is at stage 4, detail design, of architectural planning. It has been assigned a band 2 rating by my Department in accordance with the published criteria for prioritising large-scale projects.
Indicative timescales have been included for large-scale projects proceeding to tender in 2004. The budget announcement regarding multiannual capital envelopes will enable me to adopt a multi-annual framework for the school building programme, which in turn will give greater clarity regarding projects that are not progressing to tender in this year's programme including Kilmuckridge vocational school. I will make a further announcement in that regard during the year.
