Order of Business. - Budget Statement: Motion.

 

The five-year programme of public investment at current levels cannot be described as a stop-go system. The provision which has been made for carrying over 10% of budgets provides for greater flexibility. I am particularly pleased that an extra €30 million has been provided for schools, as it means an additional €55 million will be available in total for primary and secondary schools in 2004, compared to 2003. Such infrastructural development is just as important as investment in roads and transport.
