Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 February 2005
78 Ms Enright asked the Minister for Education and Science the amount allocated towards primary school building projects for 2004; the amount spent that year; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2963/05]
View answerThe total capital allocation for the primary sector in 2004 amounted to €201 million. The primary sector capital expenditure in 2004 resulted in an outturn of €171 million. The balance of €30 million has been carried forward to 2005 to cover the costs of projects that failed to advance sufficiently in 2004 to incur expected expenditure in that year. A key element of the capital envelopes is the facility to carry over into the following year unspent capital up to a maximum of 10% of voted capital.
