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. Accordingly, the matter referred to in the question is appropriate to the City of Dublin VEC.
