242. Deputy Olivia Mitchell asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 95 of 18 December 2013, when the capitation grant and the ancillary services grant are expected to be merged; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1421/14]
View answerThe consolidation of the grants system for schools will require both administrative and Information Technology (IT) input in the development of a robust and efficient grant system. Progress on this initiative will depend on the availability of resources and the priority this project is allocated as against other IT projects being pursued by my Department. Accordingly, it is not possible to state when the consolidation of the grants system will be completed.
