Vol. 428 No. 1
496 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education if a decision will be made for permanent caretakers to be appointed to a school (details supplied) in County Meath; if so, when; and if the school will be on the list for approval in 1993.
Under the terms of the Programme for Economic and Social Progress a phased programme of financial assistance by way of a supplementary grant for the provision of caretaking and clerical services in national schools has been introduced from 1 September 1992.
The initial phase of the programme has targeted schools with enrolments of 500 pupils or over which have not had caretaking and/or clerical assistance already.
It is not possible at this stage to state when the school in question might be assisted at a later phase of this programme.
