Public Accounts Committee

2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 26 - Education and Skills

9:00 am

Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

We have been increasing our expenditure on major projects in recent years, and we will continue to have to keep up major school projects to cater for increased numbers. We will continue to have to keep up a high level of expenditure in those areas. We have completely diversified in how we deliver major school projects. As well as traditional, we also have public private partnerships, PPPs, we are using the education and training boards, ETBs, we have used the Office of Public Works, OPW and the National Development Finance Agency, NDFA, on traditional builds, and we work with local authorities. We have a diverse way of getting schools built as quickly as possible.
