Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 October 2006
561 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Education and Science her views on increasing the finance made available to a school (details supplied) in County Tipperary; the reason the funding for the school remains at the 2004 level of the devolved grant scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33246/06]
View answerAs part of the expansion of the devolved scheme for primary school building works, a grant of €440,000 was sanctioned in March 2005 to the management authority of the school in question to extend and refurbish their school. This was the rate of grant applicable to a four teacher school in 2005. The rate applicable to a four teacher school in 2004 was €350,000.
My Department is in liaison with the school in question regarding the delivery of the project under the terms of the devolved scheme.
