Written Answers. - TV Licences For Schools.
I refer the Deputy to the reply to Parliamentary Question No. 174 on 4 December 1990 given by the Minister for Communications.
There are no funds available to my Department out of which specific grants can be provided in connection with television licences for schools. It is, of course, open to schools to avail of the grants given by my Department for general running costs of schools, for this purpose.
