I propose to take Questions Nos. 75 and 101 together.

All projects currently progressing to tender, at tender stage, on-site and completed in 2010, including those projects in County Kildare are listed on my Departments web-site. For the Deputy's convenience I set out below a copy of the tabular statement outlining the current status of each these projects.

My Department's capital allocation for 2011 is €491m. This provision reflects the reduced allocation in 2011 for such expenditure overall. However, I am confident that the funding available will allow for demographic needs to be met and will provide for continued improvement to the stock of educational capital, particularly given falling land values and tender prices.
