111 Mr. McCormack asked the Minister for Education and Science the overall cost of the extra additions announced in May 2003 to the 2003 school building programme. [15825/03]
I published the 2003 schools building programme in January this year in order to provide the maximum amount of information on projects in planning and at construction to students, parents, teachers, boards of management, managers and all other interested parties. The programme clearly reserved €10.7 million as a contingency fund to cover urgently required accommodation, health and safety works and other urgent works which arise during the course of the normal primary and post-primary school year. My Department has been allocating funding in respect of these works as these emergencies arise.
