The report on the value for money review of Youth Encounter Project schools is finalised and will shortly be submitted to the Houses of the Oireachtas, in line with standard procedure. The impact of implementing the recommendations contained in the report, including possible savings, will be the subject of periodic review.

I should point out to the Deputy that, while the achievement of savings is an element of the review, in general the review focused on the efficiency and effectiveness with which the YEP schools used the resources allocated to them by my Department to achieve their stated objectives.
