An application and related correspondence has been received from County Donegal Vocational Education Committee requesting funding towards the development of phase 3 of Gartan Outdoor Education Centre.

The position in relation to the capital project which is currently under way at Gartan has been outlined by the vocational education committee and this is being considered by officials in the planning and building unit of my Department.

All applications for capital funding are prioritised on the basis of the prioritisation criteria which was revised in 2004 in consultation with the education partners and this proposal is part of this process with a view to inclusion as part of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2005-2009.
