My Department has received an application for grant aid towards the cost of a building project at St. Andrew's primary school, Lucan, County Dublin. The Deputy will appreciate that there has been a massive and unprecedented increase in the funds allocated by this Government to the schools building programme at all levels.
There are currently over 850 major schools building projects at various stages of planning. Decisions relating to the rate of progress to construction of these projects, including St Andrew's primary school, will be taken in the light of the allocations to be made for school building purposes.
