    MINISTER for Education Caitriona Ruane has yesterday (13th January) published her budget plans for the period 2011-12 to 2014-15. This follows the publication of the Executive’s draft Budget in December. The Minister revealed that the outworking of the British Treasury’s withdrawal of £4billion from the Block Grant had left her with an overall gap of £300million in resource spend to cover by the end of the four year period with a particular challenge in the initial year with the need to find approximately £150million in savings.
