The sum of €32 million has been allocated for the acquisition of sites for primary and post-primary schools during 2004. The Office of Public Works manages site acquisitions on behalf of my Department and, to date, a total of €7.6 million has been transferred to the OPW account. This leaves a balance of €24.4 million for further site acquisitions during the remainder of the year.
