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.
