Question:

135.

[48110/13]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

My Department's current Financial Management System was introduced in 2003, consequently, the information requested by the Deputy is only available from 2004. Information in respect of years prior to 2004 is not readily available and would involve a very significant amount of administrative time to compile.

The relevant information for the period from 2004 to date is outlined in the following table.
