Ceist:

559. Deputy Thomas Byrne asked the Minister for Education and Skills the funding to each ETB or VEC in each of the years from 2009 to 2016 and to date in 2017, in tabular form. [28115/17]

On 1 July 2013 the 33 Vocational Education Committees (VECs) were dissolved and replaced with 16 Education and Training Boards (ETBs). My Department is responsible for the disbursement of pay and non-pay grants to each of the 16 ETBs in respect of a range of school and non-school based services.  

Details of funding provided by my Department to the ETB Sector for the period 2009 to 2017 are outlined in the following tables. 

The figures provided include funding for pay to ETB staff (including teachers), funding for the day-to-day running of schools, specific grants (e.g. book grant, transition year programme), targeted expenditure (e.g. DEIS funding), funding for student grants, funding for capital projects (which can vary from year to year depending on number of projects) and also ETB head office running costs.

The enrolments in each ETB are a main driver of funding levels. Each ETB has a high level of autonomy in the management and appropriation of this funding and may distribute its allocation in line with its priorities and perceptions of need.

From 2014 onwards, funding in respect of Further & Adult Education that was previously channelled to the ETB sector directly by my Department is now channelled indirectly via SOLAS and has therefore been omitted from the list from 2014.

The initial allocations for 2017 in respect of Department of Education and Skills funding were issued to ETBs on the 15th February 2017 and may be subject to change as the year evolves.

It should be noted that ETBs also receive funding from sources other than my Department, for example through self-financing programmes or from other Departments and agencies.

The annual accounts for the former VECs (and now for each ETB) provide detailed information on funding from all sources and how it was used. These accounts, when finalised and audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General, are published on the Oireachtas website.
