Question 446: To ask the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the fact that since the closure of a school (details supplied) in Dublin 8, pressure for places in another school is at a premium, coupled with the increase in population in the area and the fact that all other primary schools in the area are running at capacity, the disadvantaged status of the area which is a RAPID area and has an identified lower school completion record which will not be addressed by having pupils and teachers in highly cramped conditions in total breach of health and safety regulations; and if he will instruct his officials to allow the school authorities go to tender for a €3 million new school building and refurbishment of existing building as indicated in view of the fact that their application has completed the final parts of stage four of his Department's criteria for capital expenditure on school building projects.

Question 447: To ask the Minister for Education and Science the reason there has been a delay in allowing a school (details supplied) in Dublin 8 go to tender for their new school building in view of the fact that the area they service is one of a high number of new community families, has disadvantage status, is in a drugs taskforce area, and occupies a building which is 150 years old.

I propose to take Questions Nso. 445 to 447, inclusive, together.

The architectural planning of the school building project referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage. The progression of all projects to tender and construction, including this project, will be considered on an ongoing basis in the context of my Departments Multi Annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
