My officials have confirmed with your office that this question relates to Louth and Meath Education and Training Board.

The allocation of funding to individual Education and Training Boards is a matter for SOLAS, in line with its statutory remit under the Further Education and Training Act, 2013. As the statutory authority for Further Education and Training (FET), SOLAS is responsible for determining how funding is distributed across the FET sector.

The FET current and capital funding provided by SOLAS to Louth and Meath Education and Training Board since 2023 is set out in the table below. This information is available in the SOLAS Annual Report and Financial Statements which are laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas and published on SOLAS' website in accordance with sections 31 and 32 of the Further Education and Training Act, 2013.

**Disbursed to date. SOLAS has advised my officials that additional capital funding is available to Louth and Meath Education and Training Board, subject to the progression and approval of each capital project.
