Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Dublin School TV Sets.
Under a scheme introduced in August, 1964, 90 secondary schools in Dublin city and county have received grants from my Department towards the cost of purchasing television sets for use in connection with the programme "Telefís Scoile". It is possible that other secondary schools in Dublin city and county have purchased television sets without seeking grants under the scheme.
Nine vocational schools in the city of Dublin have been provided with television sets.
