515. Deputy Tom Barry asked the Minister for Education and Skills the changes in funding allocations to the Cork Education and Training Board in recent months, in terms of both current expenditure and capital expenditure. [40003/14]
View answerThere has been no change to the funding allocated to Cork ETB in recent months.
My Department's general and post primary expenditure grant to an ETB is divided between pay and non-pay. In 2014 Cork ETB received a pay grant of some €89m. The non pay grant amounted to approximately €5.5m.
The ETB sector receives capital funding throughout the year in respect of Building Programmes such as Large Scale Projects, Additional Accommodation projects, 2014 Summer Works Scheme, Emergency Works projects and replacement furniture and equipment requests. Funding levels are dictated by the speed of the delivery of the respective projects in each case.
Capital expenditure in respect of Cork ETB to date in 2014 is approximately €2.3m.
