Answer
I do not intend to allocate capital funding to the Education Authority Library Service this financial year as they have not indicated any planned capital expenditure for this area in 2025/26.
The Education Authority is progressing procurement for a schools’ library solution. However, it is expected to be a recurrent cost rather than capital.
