Eric J. Byrne
Question:115 Mr. E. Byrne asked the Minister for Education the workings of the book fund allocation to secondary schools in the Dublin area; the means by which this fund is advertised for parents in need; if there is a standard application form; and if she will guarantee that all parents with children in need who are sanctioned for this assistance will be assisted well in advance of their children returning to school in September in order that they are not humiliated or stigmatised further by not having the necessary books.
