Minister for Education (Mrs. O'Rourke): I am satisfied that the resources allocated by my Department to Vocational Education Committees this year are sufficient to enable them to make reasonably adequate provision for the education needs of the pupils in their respective areas.

The allocation of funds to individual schools in the vocational sector is a matter for the Vocational Education Committee concerned, which in this case is the County Dublin VEC.
