Question 404: To ask the Minister for Education and Science the expenditure of the National Council for Special Education for each of the years since its establishment; the estimate proposed for 2008; and her views on whether same is adequate for its needs. [34968/07]

The expenditure of the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) for each of the years since its establishment is as follows:
2004 — €2.764m
2005 — €6.576m
2006 — €7.589m
The projected out-turn for 2007 is €9.1m. The budgetary allocation for 2008 is €10.832m.
I am satisfied that the NCSE will be able to manage within the 2008 budgetary allocation.
