I propose to take Questions Nos. 202 and 205 together.

In response to the Deputy’s questions, all major school projects in Counties Louth and Meath which were on the Construction Programmes announced by the previous Ministers and have not reached tender and construction stage will continue to be progressed through the architectural and design stages and remain to be considered for progression to tender and construction stages over the course of 2017. It is my Department's intention to fully implement these programmes to completion.

As the Deputy will appreciate, the decision as to when an individual school project can commence the tender and construction stage depends on factors such as the stage reached by the project in the architectural process, the extent of contractual commitments and availability of funding under the programme at that time. I also wish to advise the Deputy that my Department is liaising directly with each of these schools in relation to their projects. Details of the schools that are approved to advance to tender and construction stage over the course of 2017 will be updated to my Department's website www.education.ie at the appropriate time.
