asked the Minister for Education if he will consider supplying materials for kindergarten and needle work free to national schools, or, at least making a grant available to help to purchase these materials for such schools.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Kindergarten and Needlework Materials for National Schools.
101.
As the expenditure involved is small in relation to any individual school the provision of these materials has traditionally been met from local sources. I do not propose to consider making any change in the present arrangements.
Would the Minister consider reviewing this matter in regard to special cases of hardship?
Yes.
