Is it accurate to state that the amount spent on education between 2006 and 2014 increased by approximately €1 billion. Interestingly enough, and despite the absolute chaos in the health service, the provision for health this year is exactly the same as that which was made in 2006. The allocations for social protection and education and skills have increased by somewhere in the region of €8 billion between them. Is this explained by the fact that there is a Labour Minister for Social Protection, a Labour Minister for Education and Skills and a Fine Gael Minister for Health?
