Update: New Schools, 1st July 2015

To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the total number of new schools on
greenfield sites or replacement for existing deficient structures approved,
funded and completed in the past five years; the extent to which she expects
this to continue in the course of the next five years; and if she will make a
statement on the matter.
– Bernard J. Durkan.

A total of 129 new schools were completed over the five year period 2010 to
2014. This total number comprises 93 new primary schools and 36 new
post-primary schools.

For the immediate future the Deputy will be aware from the school building
programme announcement last December that there are a total of 196 large scale
projects either at construction or with approval to advance to construction.
These large scale projects include 91 new primary schools and 29 new
post-primary schools.
