YEAR | AMOUNT |
---|---|
2012 | €346.8m |
2013 | €361.3m |
Savings carried forward from 2012 to 2013 amounting to €10m were full spent in 2013.
The 2013 outcome represents a saving of €5.6m or less than 2% of the overall sum allocated for schools. This sum was spent on higher education capital sector.
The number of projects at each stage of architectural planning including those which are ready for construction or awaiting Ministerial approval to proceed to construction are as follows:
