Eolas Faoin bhFeachtas Tógála|Building Campaign Update

I rith an tSamhraidh d’fhoilsigh an tAire Oideachais agus Eolaíochta, Batt O’Keeffe, fáisnéis i leith clár tógála na Roinne. Ba shuntasaí an ábhair léitheoireachta é dúinn mar phobal scoile atá ar an liosta féithimh. Is féidir na sonraí a íoslódáil anseo: Department of Education & Science – Information By Topic.

During the Summer the Minister for Education and Science, Batt O’Keeffe, T.D. published information on the school building programme. It makes sobering reading for any school on the Department’s waiting list. The details can be downloaded from here: Department of Education & Science – Information By Topic.

Tugaimid faoi deara nach bhfuilimid bogtha aon phioc ar aghaidh ó chuireamar ár n-iarratas isteach i 2005. Táimid le fáil ar liosta na n-iarrthóirí ar mhórthionscnamh tógála, sinne i measc breis is míle scoil eile.

Seeing our school’s project in the still languishing in the applications received section along with over a thousand other schools clarifies again that absolutely no progress has been made since 2005 with regard to a permanent structure for Gaelscoil Philib Barún.

Is ábhar spéise agus diomá é chomh maith go mbronntar fós aicme 2.2 ar ár n-iarratas nuair atá an dá bhunscoil eile inár gceantar, Holy Cross National School agus Glór na Mara ar bhanda 1, an ráta príorachta is airde. Léirionn sé seo go seo go bhfuil leatrom á n-imirt ar Ghaelscoil Philib Barún. Ní fios d’éinne cad é an réasún le critéir príorachta na Roinne?

To add to our frustration and disappointment we have been assigned an initial band rating of 2.2 which is a remarkable fact in itself as the other two primary schools in Tramore, Holy Cross National School and Glór na Mara are given the highest rating of 1.1. Clearly Gaelscoil Philib Barún is not a priority with the Minister and his Department. Can anybody explain the logic in the Department’s criteria for prioritising projects?
