There are three second level projects and five primary school projects which are currently being progressed within the architectural process and that are not included in the five year construction programme. These schools are:

Coláiste Abbain, Wexford, (RN71600B);

St Brendan's College, Bray, (RN61790D);

Scoil Phobail, Clifden, (RN91412M);

St Marys NS, Bagnalstown, Co Carlow, (RN11135K);

Scoil Odhran Naofa, Mullingar, Co Westmeath, (RN17932U);

Scoil Tigh an Iubhair, Co Louth, (RN18635T);

Scoil Naomh Padraig, Baconstown, Co Meath, (RN02905J);

St Marys Central NS, Donnybrook, Dublin 4, (RN19727G).

The estimated gross cost of these projects amounts to twenty seven million euro.

In addition, my Department is in receipt of 99 applications for major capital projects from primary and post primary schools that have been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria and assigned an initial band 2.1 rating. As these applications for capital funding have not yet progressed to the appointment of a school project design team, the estimated costs of these school projects are not available. Officials in my Department will arrange to provide the specific information sought in respect of these schools directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
