Dún Laoghaire college budget

Summary

Horgan said the college was halfway through the year without a confirmed budget; the Minister replied that budgeting was the responsibility of the local vocational education committee.

Is the Minister aware that the College of Art at Dún Laoghaire is operating now almost half-way through the year without any indication of what its budget will be for the whole year? Will the Minister give his immediate attention to this matter so that they may have their budget guaranteed and know how much money they have to spend?

That is a separate question, but if the Minister wishes to reply he may do so.

The Deputy is as well aware as I am that the budgeting for the college, which is part of the vocational school in the area, is a matter for the vocational education committee.

Is the Minister blaming the VEC?

I am not blaming anybody. I am simply giving the facts.
