Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 495, 496 and 509 together.
The Deputy will be aware that, as announced on Budget Day, I negotiated a substantial increase in funding for the Department of Education and Youth in 2026.
The Budget documentation published sets out funding for key measures and actions agreed for the coming year. This includes some €19 million of additional funding for the continuation of important curricular development and related teacher education.
As the Deputy may be aware, in line with standard practice, the final allocation of funding for my Department for 2026 will be set out in the 2026 Revised Estimates Volume (REV) which is due to be published later this year. Further details on the 2026 allocations for my Department will be available after the 2026 REV process is complete.
