The total number of schools concerned funded under the programme is in excess of 200. I have therefore arranged for the detailed expenditure figures on an individual school basis for each of the three years to be forwarded directly to the Deputy.
It should be noted that all primary schools have received an allocation, under the grant scheme for works grant — also known as the devolved grant — of €3,809.21 per school and €12.70 per pupil in respect of each academic year from 2000-01 to 2003-04. Nationally this annual amount is approximately €18 million. This is not included in the expenditure table above.
