Tuffy Welcomes €100m Loan For School Building Programme |
|
Labour Deputy Joanna Tuffy today welcomed the announcement that the Department of Education is to receive a €100 million loan from the European Investment Bank to help fund its School Building Programme.
As announced earlier in the year, the Government will spend €1.5 billion on a school buildings project which will see the construction of 275 schools built between now and 2016; this new €100 million loan will provide essential capital to help see this project through.
"Crucially, this loan will be used in the construction and upgrading of 35 primary and 12 national schools across the country, including two schools in my local area Scoile Mhuire National School, Woodview, and Gaelscoil Eiscir Riada, Lucan.

"When entering government it was clear that Ireland's education infrastructure needed massive investment. Coupled with a surge in demand, the challenge to deliver first class education remains unrelenting. I commend Minister Quinn's unwavering determination to provide Irish children with the type of schooling that they deserve, and I look forward to the completion of this project."
