The National Council for Special Education (NCSE) declared the following savings and excesses to my Department since 2008. Financial Year 2008 Pay Allocation: saving of €2,482,000 Non-pay Allocation: saving of €134,000

Financial Year 2009

Pay Allocation: saving of €1,724,000

Non-pay Allocation: no savings or excess

Financial Year 2010

Pay Allocation: saving of €1,068,000

Non-pay Allocation: excess of €69,000

The savings over the past three years relate to the non-filling of posts by the NCSE and the delay in the implementation of the full terms of the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Act, 2004.
