When I announced last June the requirement for 20 new primary schools and 20 new post-primary schools I indicated that the estimated cost of the establishment of these new schools would be in the region of €380m. The total capital allocation for my Department under the Government's Medium Term Infrastructure and Capital Investment Framework as announced on 10 November 2011 amounts to just over €2.2bn. While the estimated cost is €380m, not all of this will be payable in the five years 2012 to 2016 as it is expected that some of the new schools will be delivered by Public Private Partnerships.
