Ceist:211 Mr. Bell asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the fact that Drogheda Vocational Education Committee had the lowest per capita student funding in the country based on the figure for the 1989 financial year; if the figures for the 1990 financial year show an increase or decrease in cash and percentage terms over the 1989 figure; if Drogheda Vocational Education Committee will receive equal treatment in 1991; the plans she has to improve this unjust allocation; the reason she has not adjusted this anomaly; if her attention has further been drawn to the fact that the cost of providing an adequate education in Drogheda is at least equal to all other vocational education committee schemes and that therefore the allocation to Drogheda should be equal to the average of all other areas; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
