asked the Minister for Education the moneys or grant aids which are available, or which will be made available to a school (details supplied) in County Dublin for the long overdue repainting of the premises; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the school has not been decorated since 1978, and that the present quotation of £16,000 is the lowest received; if she will make money available for this badly needed work; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

There are no moneys available to my Department for the payment of grants specifically towards the cost of painting and decorating national schools, and consequently I am not in a position to make money available for that purpose to the school referred to. The Deputy is no doubt aware that capitation grants are paid by my Department towards the operating costs of national schools.
