I wish to advise the Deputy that the value of sites acquired for use in the public capital programme from private landowners by my Department amounted to just under €5m in 2010, and €10.25m in 2011. I include Table 1 with details.
In addition, during 2010, my Department provided just under €9.13m in funding to a number of Vocational Education Committees to facilitate the acquisition of sites from private landowners. No such funding was provided to Vocational Education Committees in 2011. I include Table 2 with details.
Price information regarding site acquisitions is commercially sensitive and the release of such information for 2011 would prejudice future and ongoing
negotiations elsewhere in the State. Therefore, I am not in a position to provide a list of payment amounts paid by my Department for individual sites in
2011.
