Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 September 2012
483. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide a list of the payments made by the State to private landowners in 2010 and 2011 to acquire land for use in the public capital programme. [40008/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that the value of sites acquired for use in the public capital programme from private landowners by my Department amounted to just under €5m in 2010, and €10.25m in 2011. I include Table 1 with details.
In addition, during 2010, my Department provided just under €9.13m in funding to a number of Vocational Education Committees to facilitate the acquisition of sites from private landowners. No such funding was provided to Vocational Education Committees in 2011. I include Table 2 with details.
Price information regarding site acquisitions is commercially sensitive and the release of such information for 2011 would prejudice future and ongoing negotiations elsewhere in the State. Therefore, I am not in a position to provide a list of payment amounts paid by my Department for individual sites in 2011.
