Adult education services are funded by my Department through annual grants to Vocational Education Committees (VECs), which deliver the services locally. VECs provide courses free of charge or at nominal cost in their own centres. The centre referred to by the Deputy is not a VEC centre and my Department does not provide assistance for the payment of fees charged by centres that are not VEC centres.

I understand that the City of Dublin VEC provides courses of the type referred to at its own centres for adult learners in the area. The person referred to by the Deputy should contact City of Dublin VEC at its office in the Priorswood Community Development Centre, Clonshaugh Drive, Dublin 17 for further information.
