There is a 4% reduction in the Estimates which, allowing for building inflation, is a 10% cutback in real terms. Building in almost 400 primary schools has been frozen as a result of these cutbacks. Those schools were listed in a survey in The Irish Times last week and 40 of them are in County Galway. The Department announced on 4 April 2001 that funding was in place for 30 schools nationally for work from the architectural planning stage. On 5 November 2002 work on only 17 of those schools had advanced to any degree. Who is telling lies or being deceitful? The figures do not add up.
