The cost of repairing vandalism met by each education and library board for controlled and maintained schools in the last three years is as follows:
Board Area 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 Belfast 157 115 131 Western 77 55 63 North Eastern 303 180 134 South Eastern 159 132 129 Southern 135 157 222 Total 831 639 679
The information for voluntary grammar and grant maintained integrated schools is not readily available and is being requested. I will write to the hon. Lady with the information as soon as possible.
Institutions of further and higher education and universities would claim for damages from their insurers, and the Department for Employment and Learning does not hold details of insurance cover or claims.
