Charlie McConalogue

Ceist:

229. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide a breakdown of the €13 million in cash reserves in the vocational education committee sector which he identified as part of his savings of €90 million in his Departments budget for 2013 and to include a breakdown by vocational education committee if possible of these reserves; if there are further cash reserves in the VEC sector over and above the €13 million he has identified in his Budget 2013 figures. [56624/12]

As the Deputy is aware, my decision to reduce the VEC allocation for 2013 took account of the capacity of VECs to utilise cash balances on a once off basis. The balance in each VEC will be taken into consideration when the individual budget for each VEC is determined in the New Year.

Details of the deposit balances in each VEC as of 30th September 2012, the most recent date for which information is available, are here for the information of the Deputy. The balances do not take into account any financial liabilities which were held by the VECs on that date.
