Capital Funding for the Western Education and Library Board<br />
Mr Elliott asked the Minister of Education <strong>to</strong> detail the level of capital funding allocated <strong>to</strong> the Western<br />
Education and Library Board in each year since 2002, broken down by spending in the (i) controlled; (ii)<br />
maintained; (iii) integrated; and (iv) Irish-medium sec<strong>to</strong>rs.<br />
(AQW 13527/11-15)<br />
Mr O’Dowd: The Western Education and Library Board is responsible for capital accrual expenditure on<br />
Controlled Schools and Maintained School Meals Accommodations (SMAs) only.<br />
However, I have also provided capital expenditure on Maintained, Grant-Maintained integrated and<br />
Irish Medium Schools in the Western Education and Library Board area which are grant-aided directly<br />
through the Department. As this funding is given in the form of grant aid, the figures are only available<br />
as cash expenditure.<br />
The figures shown below relate <strong>to</strong> capital expenditure figures, per sec<strong>to</strong>r, for the last 7 years. Figures<br />
broken down as requested are not available prior <strong>to</strong> the 2005/06 financial year.<br />
