My Department provides capitation funding to all recognised primary schools and post primary schools within the free education system. I am unable at this time to provide the Deputy with precise details of funding that will be provided in 2012 because the verification process in respect of enrolment data is not yet complete.

Details of the funding provided from 2008 to 2011 to the primary schools and the community and comprehensive schools in Dublin 15 is set out in the table below. Budget 2011 provided for a general reduction of 2% in per capita and related grants. At primary level this will mean a reduction of €7 per pupil in capitation rates, with a similar reduction in enhanced capitation rates for special schools and special classes. The ancillary and book grants remain unchanged.

The funding arrangements made by my Department for post primary schools reflect the sectoral division of our second-level system. At the core of all arrangements is reliance upon capitation as the principal determinant of funding.

My Department provides funding to three Community and Comprehensive schools on a budget basis that is based mainly on pupil numbers, but also take into account additional factors which vary from school to school such as age of buildings, size of school, etc.

With regard to the VEC sector financial allocations are made to VECs as part of a block grant. VECs are given a high level of autonomy in the management and appropriation of this grant and each is allowed to distribute its allocations in line with its priorities and perceptions of need. Accordingly, my Department does not have available to it a details of the distribution of funds by County Dublin VEC to the second level schools it manages in Dublin 15.

My Department provides funding to voluntary secondary schools by way of per capita grants. There will be a reduction of €11 in the capitation rate for voluntary secondary schools in 2012. All other per capita grants remain unchanged. Castleknock College is a fee charging school in Dublin 15, and therefore does not receive current funding from my Department. A proportionate reduction will be applied to funding allocations to the Community and Comprehensive School and the VEC sectors.
