Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills

A copy of a business case in relation to the project referred to by the Deputy has been received and is being considered by my Department.

Funding for such centres in the Education and Training Board sector is approved on the basis that they are self-financing and that their financial activities would be separate from the overall ETB finances.

My Department is considering the business case received and any implications that might arise from it and will engage with the body concerned in relation to same.
