In March of this year I announced a five year construction programme which outlined all of the major school building projects at primary and post-primary level which have been scheduled to commence construction over that timeframe.

The five year plan outlines when the major projects will proceed to construction. These projects comprise: 106 new schools at primary level 65 large-scale extensions at primary level 43 new schools at second level 49 large-scale extensions at second level 8 new special schools and extensions for 4 further special schools.

The details in relation to all of these projects, including those currently under construction, is readily available on my Departments web-site.
