The overall capital allocation that my Department has for 2013 amounts to €432.750m. The Minor Works Grant which will issue to primary schools in the coming weeks and amounting to over €28m is part of my Department's allocation for 2013. It is expected that the full 2013 capital allocation will be expended by year-end.
