Mr. Byrne
Provision has been made for a temporary increase of 50 per cent. in the existing scale of grants for the heating of national schools. This increase will apply to grants payable in respect of the year ended 31st March, 1943, and will continue to apply while the present abnormal prices of fuel obtain. A circular letter on the subject is being addressed to the managers of national schools.
