I propose to take Questions Nos. 206, 207, 209, and 212 to 214, inclusive, together.

Information in respect of the current school building programme, along with all assessed applications for major capital works and the status of these applications, is available on my Department's website at www.education.ie. However, for the convenience of the Deputy, I am attaching two lists which set out details of school building projects for County Kildare, including the specific areas mentioned by the Deputy.

List A details applications for major capital works from primary and post primary schools in Kildare which are currently at application stage.

List B contains details of building projects in Kildare that are advancing under my Department's Capital Programme and which are at various stages of delivery.

Details of building projects delivered in Kildare schools over the past 5 years are also included.

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

It is open to any school to apply for temporary accommodation pending the delivery of a building project if it is needed.
