The teachers are paid for by the Department of Education. No additional funds are required this year and that is why it is not mentioned in the Estimate. Things like the provision of copybooks and so on are provided by the Department of Justice through the Prison Service. I have been in several of the prisons in the last year and I have seen the facilities provided for educational purposes. It is provided by us but the teachers are paid for by the Department of Education.
