[5741/04]
Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Dempsey):
The number of primary and post-primary schools in County Clare that were funded under the schools building programme in the years 2001, 2002 and 2003 is given in the following table.
| Year | Number | Expenditure |
|---|---|---|
| € | ||
| 2001 | 47 | 1,548,238.09 |
| 2002 | 63 | 6,966,902.64 |
| 2003 | 54 | 2,463,194.76 |
| Total | 164 | 10,978,335.49 |
| Year | Number. | Expenditure |
|---|---|---|
| € | ||
| 2001 | 16 | 4,974,046.05 |
| 2002 | 15 | 8,956,253.77 |
| 2003 | 12 | 5,202,332.88 |
| Total | 43 | 19,132,632.70 |
The total number of schools concerned funded under the programme is in excess of 200. I have therefore arranged for the detailed expenditure figures on an individual school basis for each of [1419]the three years to be forwarded directly to the Deputy.
It should be noted that all primary schools have received an allocation, under the grant scheme for works grant — also known as the devolved grant — of €3,809.21 per school and €12.70 per pupil in respect of each academic year from 2000-01 to 2003-04. Nationally this annual amount is approximately €18 million. This is not included in the expenditure table above.
