Minister for Education and Skills

I propose to take Questions Nos. 311 and 313 together.

The total capital allocation available to my Department for the school sector (primary and post-primary) in 2013 is €369 million. In 2014 the expected capital allocation for the school sector is €461 million. The capital allocation for both 2013 and 2014 includes costs associated with the PPP Programme. The 2014 is subject to the budgetary process later in the year.
