It is not possible to state the amount of money that will be allocated to any school in respect of the provision of free books for necessitous pupils for the 1971-72 school year until the requirements of schools have been made know to my Department.
However, while the funds available to me are not unlimited, I am satisfied that they will be sufficient to meet all cases of genuine hardship.
