The capital investment programme for the school sector over the years 2012 to 2016 amounts to €2 billion. As I announced last March €1.5 billion of the investment is in respect of the major school building projects that will be underway during the five-year period. The remaining €500 million will be expended on the additional accommodation programme (including the initiative to replace rented prefabs with permanent accommodation), site acquisitions, emergency works, the provision of furniture and equipment, commitments arising from pre-2012 programmes and other miscellaneous capital activity.
