I propose to take Questions Nos. 497 to 500, inclusive, together.

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

2011 - €22.0 million

2012 - €19.9 million

2013 - €41.2 million

2014 - €24.0 million

2015 - €28.2 million

I refer the Deputy to my statement on 29 September 2015 on the announcement of the Building on Recovery: Infrastructure and Capital Investment 2016-2021.

Over the next six years some €3.8 billion in direct funding will be invested in education projects. An additional €200 million in PPP funding over the life time of the capital programme will result in more than €4 billion in public investment.

As the investment in the primary and post-primary sectors over the period 2016-2021 will involve the provision of permanent school places under the Large Scale Projects Programme, the Additional Accommodation Programme and the Prefab Replacement Initiative as well as expenditure on site acquisitions, ICT investment, summer works schemes, emergency works and the issue of the minor works grant as well as other smaller programmes, it is not possible over such a range of activities to determine likely expenditure on a county basis.
