Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

The Department of Education has been allocated a very considerable capital budget for next year, mostly for new schools and school extensions. I think it is in the region of €1 billion; it is certainly several hundred million euro. As is often the case, there are many more projects that we need to progress than we currently have funding for. I know the Ministers, Deputy Foley and Donohoe, are aware of the problem and are working on it. I am as keen as Deputy Smyth to see many of these projects under way in the early part of next year.
