Public Accounts Committee
2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 26 - Office of Minister for Education
9:30 am
Mr. Hubert Loftus:
To make a general point, if we look at the capital budget the bulk of it relates to adding capacity to the system through large-scale projects, the additional accommodation scheme and modular projects. A lot of the engagement one might have in areas with significant enrolment pressures gets managed within existing capacity and maximising existing capacity. This is a responsibility on us and a responsibility of schools and we work it through. We are happy to provide a note to the committee also.
