Written answers

I have included a table provided by the Institute of Public Administration which sets out the amount spent by each government department on programmes at the Institute over the past five years.

The table does not take account of income derived from accredited programmes from certificate to doctorate level. These programmes come under the Post Entry Education Scheme where the fees are paid directly by the student to the IPA and a refund is received by the student from their own parent Department.

Each Department is responsible for the operation of the Post Entry Education Scheme in that Department.  The information in respect of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform is as set out in the second table.
