The ETB has supplied the following information to my Department in response to the Deputy's question.

From time to time hotels have to be used for ETB events as no one ETB Facility can host all large ETB meetings/events and to use schools can be disruptive to students and staff.  Costs incurred are as follows:

2013 - €6,710.95

2014 - €7,962.95

2015 - €21,168.80

2016 - €20,713.65*

2017 - €12,855.45

* Due to the rotation of the South Eastern Apprenticeship awards, Tipperary ETB hosted these awards on behalf of the South East Region.
