130 Dr. O'Hanlon asked the Minister for Education and Science the current position in relation to the proposal for lifelong learning centres around three schools in the parish of Errigal Truagh, County Monaghan; and the current position in relation to the proposal for a Border college in the Aughnacloy Truagh European Studies schools project. [22480/97]
The Border college concept is currently the subject of a private feasibility study by the Border college committee which includes among its core elements the establishment of a lifelong learning centre. To this end my Department allocated £5,000 towards the cost of this study in September.
The Aughnacloy-Truagh European Studies Schools Project received £24,000 in May through the EU Special Support Programme for Peace and Reconciliation which is administered in Ireland by the Department of Foreign Affairs.
