The planning and building unit of my Department is exploring options as to the most efficient and cost-effective way of providing improved accommodation at the school in question. My Department will be in contact with the board of management as soon as possible.

The cost of rented or leased accommodation over the past five years is as follows: 1998 –€857.25, 1999 –€8,663.67, 2000 –€7,962.90, 2001 –€24,793.23 and 2002 –€5,185.29.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 395 and 396 together.

My Department has an extensive primary school building programme under way, details of which are available on my Department's website, www.education.ie.

The majority of the 400 major primary school building projects in architectural planning relate to refurbishment and renovation works.
