Abstract	This report is the Irish contribution to Cedefop's (European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training) series of portraits on the financing of vocational education and training (VET) within the EU Member States. Both government and the social partners in Ireland are strongly committed to vocational education and training. Over recent years, this has led to increased participation in third-level technological education, post-secondary vocational education, apprenticeships and continuing vocational training. Much of the initial VET system is publicly funded, but continuing vocational training is primarily funded by employers. The European Social Fund, has made a major contribution to the funding of VET in Ireland. Further financial incentives to encourage lifelong learning and to facilitate disadvantaged group's access to training are likely, as Ireland seeks to ensure that for economic and social reasons, all participate in the changing economic circumstances of the future. This report outlines the different funding sources and distribution mechanisms for initial and continuing vocational training as well as training for unemployed people. Background information on the political, economic and administrative structure is given and the trends in funding and future perspectives are discussed. As such, the report provides a great deal of statistics on funding levels and is a useful guide to the way training is financed in Ireland. (DIPF/Orig.).
