Question:
To ask the Minister for Employment and Learning when staff in the Northern Regional College will receive their 2014/2015 incremental pay award.

Answer:

The current ESF Programme 2007-2013 has a financial allocation of €189,777,300 which is fully committed.

There is no projected underspend at this time for the current ESF Programme 2007-2013.

There are no plans to extend the current ESF Programme. All expenditure under the Programme must have been incurred and the process of claiming it from the Commission, including all verification and audit work, must be completed by the end of 2015.

My Department has applied the Freedom of Information Act 2000 Section 43 (commercial interests) to the applicants that have applied to the ESF Programme and, therefore, I am unable to provide detailed information on further education colleges applications.
