Mr. Paul O'Toole:

What we call programme costs are our own activities. The bulk of our funding goes to education and training of course and 90% is by way of grant. However, we run and co-ordinate certain programmes and we also are doing a range of development projects, the reforms that I spoke about. Within part of that, and we will get the breakdown to the Deputy to the extent that he wishes it, we have introduced a new strategy on technology enhanced learning, so for adult education we are bringing technology into the mix. We have done work in respect of professional development in conjunction with education and training boards, devising a plan to upskill all of us in terms of further education and training and there are a range of other programmes like that. I can get precise details for the Deputy.
