Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach) Niamh Bhreathnach

Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach): My Department is awaiting a response from the school authorities in relation to the outline sketch scheme for the project.

At this early stage of architectural planning the question of funding does not arise. However, I assure the Deputy that when the project has reached an advanced stage of planning the question of allocating funds will be considered.

1695

Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach): In 1994, the amount of capital moneys spent on primary schools was £21 million. In 1995, the amount spent to 23 November was £21.8 million. The school and county details sought by the Deputy are not readily available in my Department. The number of schools which received grant-aid in the [1695] 1994-1995 period would be in the region of 2,000.

If the Deputy requires information on a particular school, he might give the details to my office and I will arrange to have the matter examined.
