Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 January 2024
579. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science if he will provide an update on the total allocation of capital grants, devolved capital grants and the further education capital grants to the Laois-Offaly Education and Training Board and if the Minister; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3849/24]
View answerFET capital funding allocated to Laois and Offaly and Education and Training Board (LOETB) in 2023 was made under the Devolved Capital Allocation which allows LOETB to address a range of small-scale projects at a local level and the Apprenticeship Fund with capital investment primarily for extensive equipment requirement for craft apprenticeships, to deliver off-the-job training in LOETB training centers. I wish to advise the Deputy that LOETB was allocated just over €1.35 million from the 2023 FET Capital Budget.
