I wish to advise the Deputy that the actual cost of constructing a General Purpose (GP) Room for a Primary School and a PE Hall for a Post Primary School can vary depending on a number of factors which can include, but not limited to the size and scope of the construction contract the GP/PE Halls are being constructed under, market conditions, site constraints, planning conditions, procurement method, etc.

Typical costs for provision of GP Rooms and PE Halls are as follows:

- GP room for a 4 classroom Primary school is €684,000;

- GP room for an 8/16 classroom Primary school is €904,000;

- GP room for a 24 classroom Primary school is €1,808,000;

PE Hall for a Post Primary school is €3,000,000.
