Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

In the period from March 2011 to the end of June 2013 a total of just over €26 million was invested in schools infrastructure in County Kerry, of which €17 million related to primary schools and the remainder related to post-primary schools. In the absence of specific school details it is not possible to provide the Deputy with the breakdown of the beneficiaries of these investments although full details are published on my Department's website at www.education.gov.ie annually. If there are specific schools that the Deputy has a particular interest in he may of course revert with details and I shall procure the relevant information regarding same for him.
