Capital expenditure on primary buildings in 2002 will be €172.6 million. As a result of the Government's commitment to funding educational infrastructure, in excess of 120 major capital projects in the primary sector have recently been completed or are currently under construction. Many of these projects will continue in construction into 2003. The 400 major primary school projects in architectural planning that are listed on the Department's website were not included in the 2002 construction programme. Because they are major projects, they have to go through a detailed process of architectural planning which will take a considerable period to complete.
