Applications for major capital funding have been received from two schools in the Clane area. As part of the assessment of those applications, consideration has been given to the long-term demand for pupil places in the area to ensure that any extra provision being made will meet its needs well into the future. Progress on individual projects will be considered in the context of the school building and modernisation programme from 2006, subject to the prioritisation criteria for large-scale building projects.
