I propose to take Questions Nos. 1035, 1036, and 1069 together.

The total number of large scale building projects that reached practical completion in the primary school sector during the five year period 2005 to 2009 is 260.

In 2009 a total of 20 new schools were completed and these provided 212 permanent mainstream classrooms. 6 large scale extension/refurbishment projects were completed in the same year and these provided a further 38 permanent mainstream classrooms.

In 2008 a total of 48 new schools were completed and these provided 486 permanent mainstream classrooms. 29 large scale extension/refurbishment projects were completed in the same year and these provided a further 104 permanent mainstream classrooms.

In 2007 a total of 12 new schools were completed and these provided 134 permanent mainstream classrooms. 25 large scale extension/refurbishment projects were completed in the same year and these provided a further 93 permanent mainstream classrooms.

In 2006 a total of 8 new schools were completed and these provided 99 permanent mainstream classrooms. 34 large scale extension/refurbishment projects were completed in the same year and these provided a further 121 permanent mainstream classrooms.

In 2005 a total of 12 new schools were completed and these provided 106 permanent mainstream classrooms. 66 large scale extension/refurbishment projects were completed in the same year and these provided a further 162 permanent mainstream classrooms.

In addition to the construction of permanent mainstream classrooms that are delivered by way of large scale projects, permanent mainstream classrooms are also provided in the primary sector under various devolved schemes that feature in the School Building Programme.

Under devolved schemes in 2009 a total of 364 permanent classrooms were constructed. Under devolved schemes in 2008 a total of 410 permanent classrooms were constructed. Under devolved schemes in 2007 a total of 266 permanent classrooms were constructed. Under devolved schemes in 2006 a total of 204 permanent classrooms were constructed. Under devolved schemes in 2005 a total of 129 permanent classrooms were constructed.
