Question 630: To ask the Minister for Education and Science when the value for money review of the youth encounter projects will be complete; the value of the anticipated savings to the Exchequer due to the implementation of this report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26670/08]

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.
