My Department provides grants to vocational education committees on an annual basis to support the provision of education in community settings, whether by way of direct grants to such groups or by the provision of an outreach service to meet locally identified needs. In addition, community based education groups are eligible to apply for funding on an annual basis under the community strand of the back to education initiative. I have no proposals to introduce multi-annual funding for groups availing of these schemes.
