Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

Yes, the proportion of the education budget that went on unitary charges was 12% in 2016 and 10% in 2017. Obviously, we operate within the overall Government policy. We are cautious about having too high a proportion of our budget going on unitary charges. This is an argument for the past rather than for the future, but at the same time, given the budget available to us and the demand for school places, it was very important that we use diverse methods of delivery. I believe 12% of additional places in the school system have been delivered through PPPs in 6% of projects, because the projects are of scale. While we are very happy with the engagement on the national development plan, and of course I am very ambitious for delivery on it, clearly its funding does not kick in in scale for several years and we are running with two more bundles of higher education PPPs.
