Written Answers. - Physical Education Facilities.

Mr. Lowry asked the Minister for Education and Science if the application for a gymnasium from a school (details supplied) is in eighth position on the gym school building list. [25414/06]

  Ms Hanafin: There is no separate gym school building list nor are projects assigned numbers on a list in the manner suggested by the Deputy. Applications for the provision of PE or sports facilities in schools are considered in the context of all other applications on hand for capital investment e.g. applications for new schools; refurbishment projects; extensions; new sites; remediation programmes. All applications are considered in the context of available resources and the published criteria for prioritising school building projects.
