The school authority in question has submitted an application to my Department for a new school. Applications for large scale capital funding are assessed and banded in accordance with published prioritisation criteria. These criteria were agreed following consultation with the Education Partners and the progression of individual projects is considered in the context of the multi-Annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that since the beginning of 2008 emergency works grants have been approved for St. Mary's Secondary School, Ballina and Dookinella NS, Achill.

As indicated at the post budget education briefing I intend to announce shortly the first tranche of projects that will proceed to construction in 2008.
