Due to competing demands on my Department's capital budget imposed by the need to prioritise the limited funding available for the provision of additional school accommodation to meet increasing demographic requirements it was not possible to include all school building projects in the 5 year construction programme announced in March 2012.

School building projects which have been initiated but not included in the current five year construction programme continue to be progressed to final planning stages in anticipation of the possibility of further funds being available to my Department in the future.

The regularly updated status of major school building projects, including those projects which were not included on the 5 year construction programme, may be viewed on my Department's website at www.education.ie.

For ease of reference, I the following table outlines the most recent update on the projects to which the Deputy refers.
