Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills

I understand that the body referred to by the Deputy is in receipt of support under the community education programme from Kerry Education and Training Board (ETB). My Department, through SOLAS, funds adult and community education which is delivered locally by Education and Training Boards (ETBs). The extent of the service provided is a matter for each ETB.
