Thomas Byrne (Fianna Fail)

I know all about Meath, too, because I have looked at it and there is not one there. I have not looked at the problems concerning the four for 2013-2014, but there is not one school in County Meath that has not been announced already by this Government or the previous one. While any investment by the Minister is to be welcomed, it falls far short of the radical investment he planned. It also falls far short of what we proposed in the four-year plan, which the parties opposite vigorously and ruthlessly opposed last year, both here and in the Dáil. It is €300 million a year on school projects. While every penny of that is needed and welcome, we committed more money in committing to €1.9 billion over four years up to 2015. We allocated €491 million in 2011 and €597 in 2010.
