The information requested by the Deputy is given in the form of a tabular statement which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, will be circulated with the Official Report.
It would be contrary to established practice to furnish information with regard to the amounts paid in respect of individual schools on a school by school basis.
Following is the statement:

Comment on this
Actually, it has not been totalled. In the current year a provision of £11.6 million was made originally for vocational schools capital projects. During the year an additional £4.355 million, arising from savings in the primary sector, were allocated to vocational schools. The sum of £13.005.65 million has been expended to 30 November and the balance of £3.427 million will be expended during the month of December. Therefore it is a combination of those two figures — £16.432 million.
