Question:99 Mr. Dempsey asked the Minister for Education the purposes for which the maintenance grants to primary schools should be used. [7310/97]
Written Answers. - Grant Payments.
I take it the Deputy's question relates to the new devolved system under which national schools will be given a basic grant of £2,000, plus £9 per pupil.
The money may be used for improvement works to buildings, services and furnishing. Details of the scheme were set out in a circular which issued to national schools in May last year.
