The information requested by the Deputy with regard to schools in County Kerry which have applications with my Department for new schools, refurbishments or extensions is not readily available in the format requested. However, should the Deputy have queries relating to specific individual schools officials in School Planning Section of my Department would be happy to assist.

With regard to the schools in County Kerry which have been awarded funding in 2006 I draw the Deputy's attention to the series of announcements I have made so far this year as part of the 2006 School Building Programme and details of which are available on my Department's website at www.education.ie. These announcements, which were published in county order, outline: Schools authorised to commence architectural planning; Details of schools with projects approved under the 2006 Summer Works Scheme; Schools with major building projects allowed to move to tender and construction; and, Schools invited to deliver their building projects on the basis of devolved funding. Applications for capital works from schools in County Kerry which are not included in these announcements are being assessed and considered for inclusion in further announcements as part of the 2006-2010 School Building and Modernisation Programme.
