Question:

136 Mr. Ryan asked the Minister for Education if he will outline the cost, at current rates, of educating a child at a private school over the period of the second level curriculum.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135 and 136 together.

The information sought by the Deputies in relation to numbers 1 to 7 and 9 of the question is not readily available in the format sought and the cost in staff time of assembling it would not be justified.

In relation to No. 8 there are no plans in my Department at present for the provision of a Vocational Training Centre in the greater Blanchardstown area.

In relation to No. 10 the position is that as private schools are independent of my Department, I have no information on the cost of attending them.

The programme for which funding will be sought under the European Social Fund from 1994 onwards has not yet been determined. However, funding will be available for a wide variety of activities and a variety of schools.
