I propose to take Questions Nos. 825 and 898 together.

Funds for community education services are provided by my Department to the vocational education committees. The disbursement of these funds is a matter for each VEC, which, subject to its budget, decides the nature of the community education service to be provided in its area and the manner in which community education funds should be spent. The centre in question should apply to the local VEC for funding for this project.
