Capital expenditure incurred in the primary and post-primary sectors in the years 2011 to date in 2015 in County Louth is as follows:

2011 - €19.8m

2012 - €16m

2013 - €12.3m

2014 - €15.7m

It is not possible to provide the data/information requested in respect of all schools within a county. However, if the Deputy wishes to nominate a specific school, I would be happy to provide the level of capital funding issued in such an instance.
