The project to which the Deputy refers is currently at an advanced stage of architectural planning. The application for this project was received in my Department on 22 June 1999. Representatives from the school and the design team attended a stage 2(b) briefing which was held in my Department's office in Tullamore on 26 November. The Design Team is currently working on the documentation associated with stage 2(b) and receipt of same is awaited by my Department. Thereafter, following submission of a complete stage 2(b), the proposed building project will be considered in the context of the Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme for 2010 and subsequent years. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the delivery of the project at this time.

The building project for the above school is at an advanced stage of architectural planning. The application was received on 22 October 2002. The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction is dependent on the prioritisation of competing demands on the funding available under my Department's capital budget. The proposed building project will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme for 2010 and subsequent years. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of my Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the delivery of the project at this time.

The project to which the Deputy refers is currently at an early stage of architectural planning. The application was received on 30 August 1997. The project has been approved to progress to stage 2(a) and my Department is currently awaiting the submission of stage 2a documentation from the Design team. The proposed building project will be considered in the context of the Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme for 2010 and subsequent years. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the delivery of the project at this time.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 359 to 388, inclusive, together.

I can confirm that the schools to which the Deputy refers have made applications to my Department for large scale capital funding. The following table shows the dates on which these applications were received. Progression of a project is determined by its prioritisation rather than date of application. In this regard, the applications have been assessed in accordance with the published criteria for large scale capital projects and assigned an appropriate band rating. Information in respect of the current school capital building programme along with assessed applications for major capital works, including the projects referred to by the Deputy, are now available on my Department's website at www.education.ie.

The progression of all large scale building projects, including projects for these schools, from initial design through to construction phase will be considered in the context of the Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of these projects at this time.
