My Department is currently examining a number of possible projects for inclusion on its fast track programme for 2009. However, a number of issues need to be resolved before any formal decision can be made on particular projects. These include issues such as the finalisation of accommodation briefs, sight investigations, topographical surveys and planning permissions. The projects currently under consideration are in the following regions; the greater Dublin area, the south east and south. It is my intention to make an announcement in the first quarter of 2009 on major primary and post-primary school projects to proceed to construction.
