Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 March 2012
54 Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills the amount of money that has been spent on refurbishment and extension works for small schools of four teachers and fewer in south Tipperary in the past ten years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14410/12]
View answerThe expenditure information on refurbishment and extension works for small schools, four teachers and less, in South Tipperary is not readily available within my Department and it would require a substantial amount of administrative time to identify and extract the full range of details sought. The level of resources required to compile the information sought would not be warranted. However, I can confirm to the Deputy that the total capital invested in small schools of four teachers or less in South Tipperary from 2008 to date amounted to €7,799,421.31. Data for years prior to 2008 are not readily accessible.
