The vast bulk of the cost of school building projects is borne by my Department. In the circumstances referred to by the Deputy the amount of the local contribution for schools with disadvantaged status is 5% of the project cost subject to a maximum amount of €12,500.
These arrangements have been approved by the Department of Finance and are of a general application.
