Seanad debates

Wednesday, 11 December 2002

To meet our objectives the Minister will look closely at the potential for using public-private partnership mechanisms and the concept advanced in the programme for Government of a multi-annual programme, the schools' modernisation fund, to be financed through the National Development Finance Agency. The Government acknowledges that much more needs to be done to tackle poor accommodation in primary schools and, within the constraints of financial resources, we intend to continue with a phased programme of construction works over the lifetime of the Administration. For the information of the House, the Minister intends publishing his expenditure proposals for primary school buildings in the new year. The Department's website will be updated at regular intervals from that point on.
