Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 381 and 382 together.

The allocations for my Department’s Vote for 2020 were set out in the Further Revised Estimate approved by Dáil Éireann on 18 November 2020 while the allocations for 2021 were set down in the Revised Estimate which was considered by the Select Committee on Education, Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, on 23 March last. These allocations set out the programmes under which the subheads for this Vote will be accounted for by the Department. These Estimates currently consist of two programmes: expenditure on first, second and early years’ education; and Appropriations in Aid.

The Further Revised Estimate for 2020 replaced the original Revised Estimate for Vote 26 (Education and Skills) to reflect the transfer of the financial allocations associated with the functions that transferred to the newly established Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Vote 45) and additional allocations to the Vote including funding to meet Covid related expenditure. 

The table below sets out the allocations for the individual subheads in the Vote for the years in question.

The amounts set out in the table are those allocations approved for the purposes referred to and do not represent actual expenditure. Details of the expenditure against the amounts allocated will be set out in the Appropriation Accounts for my Department’s Vote which will be published in due course following the conclusion of the audit of the accounts by the Comptroller and Auditor General.
