The cost of An Scoil Eachaíochta for the financial year ended 31/3/61 was £58,000 approximately. This includes the pay, allowances, etc. of officers and men, the purchase and upkeep of horses and the expenses of equitation teams at Horse Shows with a deduction in respect of receipts by way of show prizes and other appropriations-in-aid. As the Deputy is no doubt aware the deduction in respect of show prizes this year will be considerably greater than for a number of years.
