Vol. 415 No. 7
53 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for Education the amount of European Structural Funds spent on Irish third level education in the years 1990 and 1991; and if he will give a breakdown of the way the funding was spent in each of the third level institutions in each of these years.
The amounts of European Structural Funds supports spent by my Department on third level education in 1990 and 1991, were £70.59 million and £72.01 million respectively.
The amount of aid spent on individual third level institutions is not readily available and in view of the inordinate amount of staff time required it would not be feasible to divert resources from essential tasks to collate the information sought.
