Budget Statement 2009
4:00 pm
Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)
Investment in education is essential for our future prosperity. I have provided for an increase of €308 million in the total expenditure provision for education in 2009. A total of €230 million of this increase is for current expenditure, to provide for the additional costs across the system as a result of increasing student numbers due to demographic factors.
