Paul Murphy

Question:

152. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Education and Skills the estimated cost to bring all private education institutions into public ownership. [47199/19]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

My Department has not undertaken any assessment of the feasibility of bringing all private educational institutions into State ownership, having regard to the Constitutional, legal, policy, financial and operational aspects of this question. I am therefore not in a position to provide any estimate of the costs of such a proposal.
