The 2003 building programme has been published. Full details of projects are available on my Department's website at www.education.ie. The level of funding allocated for the provision of temporary accommodation is set out at section 12 of the programme. Expenditure under the various sections of the programme will be closely monitored throughout the year. It is too early to say how contingency funding will be allocated as it depends on a number of factors, including the extent and nature of the demand on such funding.
