The allocation of capital funding for each of the sectors within the Education Vote is governed by the five year multi-annual framework for capital expenditure 2004-2008. This framework provides an allocation for each of the five years and allows a carry-over into the following year of unspent capital up to a limit of 10% of a current year's voted capital allocation.
The Deputy will be aware the Minister for Finance has indicated that he will be dealing with adjustments to capital envelopes as part of his budget speech on 1 December and accordingly I am not in a position today to indicate the precise allocation for capital projects at institutes of technology in 2005.
