asked the Minister for Education the total expenditure in each county during the period from 1 January 1980 to 31 December 1984 in each of the following sectors: (1) secondary schools, (2) second level vocational education committee schools, (3) comprehensive and community schools and (4) primary schools; the total capital expenditure envisaged in each county during the four year action plan as indicated above; and the total enrolment at both first and second levels in each county in each of these sectors for the last year for which figures are available.
Written Answers. - Educational Statistics.
Enrolments at first and second level schools for the school year 1983-84 (the latest year available) are set out below.
Information relating to projected capital expenditure for each county during the four year action plan cannot be made available, because of the impossibility of estimating when each individual building project in course of planning is likely to be commenced.
The other information requested by the Deputy is not readily available. Its provision would take an inordinate amount of official time, the cost of which would not be justified.
